Thu, 14 Dec 2006 Ahh, the final push for tapeout, that time of year when a young man's fancy turns to digital synthesis, place and route, top-level simulations, ESD structures, and—of course—layout. I hope you'll pardon the fact that I haven't blogged in a month and a half. I've been embroiled with not one, not two, but three tapeouts of three completely separate parts. The last, "mine" (inasmuch as I am the project leader), is going to take a miracle to come out before Christmas, and Herculean effort to keep it from pushing more than a few days past. At this point I'm sure that Christmas will be spent poring over DRC violations (if I'm lucky and we're at top-level DRC). Such is the level of my dedication. Thank you, Catholic schools: you really taught me how important it is to hate myself. So yeah, after that I'm driving to Iowa for a couple days before heading to Cali on the 30th to spend New Year's with Katherine. Given that I haven't seen her since Thanksgiving, and considering that both of us have had rough Decembers, that will be a relief in several respects. In other news: Ariel accepted an offer from SiLabs, so he'll be starting at the end of January. Yeah, bitches! Now the rest of y'all have to move here. It'll be bad ass. Ahh yes, one last thing: someone (not me, honestly) came up with a more realistic schedule for my project than the one we'd been officially working from. Note that, much to my chagrin, we haven't actually hit the "Act of God" phase quite yet. We'll get there soon, I'm sure... [ permalink | 3 comments ] writebacksSid wrote
