This… this is a rant.
It is incredibly frustrating being a Mac and Linux user if you’re interested in embedded systems development. In particular, if you are working with the MSP430, one of the only viable parts if you’re really, really concerned about power consumption. There simply aren’t, at this time, any parts (that I know [...] . . . → Read More: The sorry state of embedded development under Linux

I’ve won an award! My housemate Poul has decided I am an excellent Ketchup Shopper!
I’m going to go find out what it is… Goes downstairs, outside, inside, and back again… They’re Greenfoot t-shirts! SIGCSE must be . . . → Read More: Ketchup Although it sounds odd, Damian built a DOS version of the Transterpreter last week. Oh, the humanity! This may sound wacky, but the reasoning is sound. We have a large suite of tests that we run the Transterpreter through on a regular basis. Actually, we use buildbot to run all of the tests anytime someone checks code [...] . . . → Read More: A DOSterpreter? Slowly, the iLiad continues to improve. I can now rotate an A4, zoom, and set my viewer to a continuous scroll. This means I can easily zoom in to half of the A4 (that is, A5), and then thumb through the document. This is almost good enough for viewing research content (articles from the ACM and so . . . → Read More: The iLiad Improves I have a backlog of things I can write about in this space, so I’ll do my best to do a bit of catching up. Tom responded to my post on keeping backups; between the two posts, I think there’s a nice combination of information. As he points out, my comments are quite technical. I do my best not to get caught in the details, but it sometimes comes with the profession. It is also interesting to compare the posts: Tom’s . . . → Read More: The Busy Writer: Backups (followup)
I recently started using Yojimbo for managing bookmarks, PDFs, and other things that I find around the net. It seemed like a good choice of tool for the quick archival of websites and data that I’d like to be able to find later. Unfortunately, my Yojimbo database has already grown to 50MB in size. Now, this . . . → Read More: The cost of backups This is the second in a serious of posts where Tom Colvin and I explore how The Busy Writer can make their process more robust in the face of uncertain technology. Scenario In this series of posts, I’m going to take Tom’s situation as a case study (unless some other writers chime in with scenarios they feel are . . . → Read More: The Busy Writer: Backups I previously wrote about Amazon S3 and its use for people who just need a way to cheaply/safely backup and archive content off-site. This came up at a CE-L dinner I was attending with my wife some time ago; people were discussing the relative costs of backup solutions for their work. I’ll be updating this, as . . . → Read More: Version control and other tools for writers I think I want a dedicated printer for generating 3×5 cards and A5 inserts. And, while I’m at it, I might as well get one that does rudimentary scanning as well.
We’ll see. 40GBP isn’t cheap, but it isn’t killer. I’ll think about it, anyway. The Canon Pixma MP160 (Amazon UK, review) looks reasonable for what . . . → Read More: Still getting organized |
