A day in the factory

Because of Chinese newyear many of the operators in the factory go back to their homes. Today I went past one of the flats on the plant where they live and saw a huge amount of suitcases and bags. It looks like the whole factory will be empty next week.
There is one small problem however, in the middle of China is very bad weather, with big walls of snow. Many north-south train connections are canceled and many flights also. This night they tried to supply a stranded train with cup-noodles, but they forgot that the people didn't have hot water.......Here is China it is the most normal thing in the world that you have hot water standing by to make their most favorite drink: tea (tsjah)........Hope we can leave from Hongkong this wednesday without much trouble.....

Our machine is more or less running ok now, in the meantime we're solving small problems on other machines, like this one. We needed to install a new PC on it because the old one almost broke down. But there was a special interface card that connected the process computer to the PC. We got it working again.
