Ton Whileloop

This week has been a nightmare. I've forgotten how the sky looks at 7am and how the sun sets in the evening.
All this courtsey of our client. His real surname is Verloop, but you can guess why we call him whileloop.
This chap must be in his mid 40's , supposedly wears a wig, earings, and is an extremely enthusiastic german dude. So, he's actually german, has a chinese wife, main office in the US, does business in Europe and China.

#define global Ton

But he's a great guy, walks in every morning, salutes everyone he bumps into, and is ever energetic. Today he suddenly thought of something while having lunch... ran upstairs , took his magnifying glass and observed something on a PCB.

A few days ago.. he wanted to see if we could get MP3z to run on this prototype board which had an audio codec and a speaker attached to it. Somehow, when we mangaed to get some sound out off it, he ran upstairs ...got his camcorder.. and taped the lifeless proto board playing the MP3 file !
All this .. so he could show his ppl back home that "the thing" really works!

But his enthusiastic spirit is really good... it keeps him high ! Being a german , and we know what alcoholic capacity they have .. one wonders which spirit keeps him high (pun intended).
