To cut a long story short I've been made 'redundant'... suddenly. I had NO IDEA that the company was in such bad shape. Well, I also just learnt that my boss has fled the country!??!

It's the strangest situation... but I'm not cut in the slightest as I was really getting tired of teaching anyway.

Well, it seems this is the time to make a final exit from Japan, I'll probably hang around for another month or so, then it's back to AU for me! Woohoo! :bananaman

I don't want to let fly what I'll do in AU just yet so as not to give myself bad luck or anything (touch wood).

Rezz, sorry to hear about that unfortunate situation. Ive heard similar stories in the past of how school operators suddenly disappeared and then paid for it years down the road.

All I can say is that it was nice meeting you at Central a few weeks back, and ill try and expose 23% of what you have accomplished here in Japan with regards to media.

That sucks Rezz but at least I guess you were thinking of getting out soon. Good luck.

You will now need to pass on the mantle of reporting all things from J Land to a new and worthy successor!

Hmmmm, who might that be?

No seriously, is there any Aussie around that would have the time and patience to do such a thing?

I'm either going to go to Perth (family) or Brisbane (work). I'd prfer to go to Perth obviously, but in Brisbane a good friend of mine is setting up a company so I'd really like to be a part of that. Yes, a Japanese automotive orientated company :thumbsup:

I saw the thread title "I lost my job" & then seen the last post by "Beer Baron" underneath and automatically thought Beer baron must have been caught drinking on the job & got fired... Lol

Bad luck Rezz, I been made redundant once before, it’s a shock because you have no idea the company was in sh#t. Was all good, got another fulltime job 2 weeks later. & in your case you get come back to Oz which is also good. Gona miss your photos from Japan tho...

@ West: Cheers mate, but the journey is definately over... I'm now more in the mood to help Japanese (the cool ones :D hahaha) when they come to AU to live or study or whatever... kind of the next step? At any rate, one things for sure and that is *I don't wanna teach English ever again!* :D

@ geno8r: There had to be an end to the reports from Japan sometime I guess. But I'll always have my contacts and friends here in Japan so it's not the absolute end. But as for the weekly updates etc... yeah, I'm gobnna have to find someone to replace me... if anyones up for that kind of thing???

@ Gojira: no worries moite, will def do something tomorrow. Will mail you.

Justin,

Sorry to hear about your job but I am sure you are ready to leave anyway.

May be another possibility is working in the Travel Industry as you have an understanding of the Japanese culture and Australian culture so I am sure you can put a package tour to show the best of Japan or Australia.

btw, have you heard from Troy as I emailed him a while back and heard nothing.

Anthony

@ Predator: Yeah it was sudden, but that was the nature of the situation though, fine one day, crap the next! Just like that Queensland tourism campaign in the 80's yeah? :cheers:

@ Anthony: Will PM you mate with the low down... Troys been busy.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
