*gasp* an update!

I've been far, far busier than I could've imagined the last couple of months, so alas I let this slide.

Anyhow... I'm going to do a new project this weekend: A breadboard project where I use an AVRopendous and a few simple parts to make a USB-based remote control power/reset switch.

Why? Because I can, duh.

Seriously - it's because I'm hoping to get into lower-level graphics hacking, and for the bits where I can hack from the relative safety of my recliner in the other room, it'd be nice to trigger a reset from the main comp's command line when i crash the drone computer that I'll be testing the new code on.

Hopefully Marvac has some opto-isolators...
