Here in Australia we are stocking up on sunburn cream and checking out the barbecue equipment, while some of our friends &#8220;up over&#8221; are already exercising their snow shovels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At SPLat Controls, as always happens, we are being flooded with &#8220;must have it by Christmas&#8221; jobs. I remember, many years ago as a young engineer soldering on (sic) to finish a &#8220;must have it by Christmas&#8221; project for a major mining company. Meanwhile a noisy office Christmas party was going on upstairs directly above my lab, and I was missing out on my chance to chat up that cute little secretary over a glass of punch!. Three months later I was &#8220;on site&#8221; at said mining company on another job and inquired about my brainchild. &#8220;Oh, that&#8221; was the reply, &#8220;It&#8217;s still down in the warehouse, we haven&#8217;t looked at it yet&#8221;. That was when I decided never, never, ever again to panic whenever a customer absolutely positively had to have it by Christmas. But guess what, it still happens every year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here in Australia business just about comes to a standstill for 3-4 weeks over Christmas. Because it&#8217;s our summer and school summer holidays, people also take their annual leave (that&#8217;s Aussie for vacation), and many businesses simply shut down for 3-4 weeks. That is particularly the case with companies like printed circuit manufacturers with process lines requiring full staffing to operate. Given that we always seem to be developing something in a hurry for someone, and that it requires printed circuits, it always gets &#8220;interesting&#8221; for us at this time of year. As it happens, we are developing something that&#8217;s in a hurry, for a customer in Florida (hi Bruce!), and we&#8217;ve just had a mad scramble to get the PCB artwork in before the 12 noon on 12\/12 deadline. We made it! So in January we&#8217;re off to Florida to deliver the prototypes and help with the commissioning (how&#8217;s that for personalised service :-). On the same trip we&#8217;ll be visiting Diamond Telemetry in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who make very competitive (try half the price of competing systems!) SPLat-based SCADA systems for pumping applications. Finally we will have some meetings with potential SPLat reps in Southern California and spending some R&amp;R time with friends in San Diego. May even make it down south of the border for the first time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Where-ever you are, whatever your creed, I hope the coming weeks, and the coming year, are good to you and that you spend a pleasant time with those you care for.<br><br>Season&#8217;s greetings from us all at SPLat Controls.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPLat Happenings Newsletter December 2002 This newsletter is sent to anyone who has expressed interest in SPLat programmable controller products.
