Productivity

This has been a fairly productive week. I’ve been working with the SV24, and so far I’m really happy with it. The one serial port may be a bit of a problem, but we can get around that with USB converters now. Also, I’ve switched from using FreeBSD for our embedded systems to NetBSD. The [...]

Fun Weekend, New Work Toy

Damn Cats

Well, I got home this morning to discover a half-full can of Coke that was on my dresser had been knocked over by one of Derrick’s cats. That was rather annoying, but I got it cleaned up. I think it was the older one, he was trying to look cute and innocent the whole time [...]
