Damn South African Post office.
If you have been keeping up on my other threads, I have designed myself a DMX controlled Dimmer system,
which I definately need by the beginning of December.
But the South African Post Office employees are striking (as usual), and this one has been going on for over 10 weeks:
Wanting thousands of Casual Employees made permanant,
Wanting the EXCO sacked, etc.
Although it is Mostly the branches in Gauteng that are closed,
all the International mail routes through there.
I looked at the news yesterday morning, which said the strike is almost over,
![Clapping :clap:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/clap.gif)
but then I looked again today, and they say the main unions have rejected the offers.

That means I cannot get the following:
My Boards that ITEAD have produced
My Sample RS485 Transceivers From Maxim
My Sample PIC's from Microchip
and all my SMD components from the various suppliers
Guess If I want this thing done in time, I will have to build it up on Stripboard with all the parts I have lying around (Now where did I leave that old board that had a 3v3 zener on it?.....).
At least when I go to my Postbox, I do not see any Junk Mail, or Spam....
Well, That is my rant for the day.
