Cranial Detritus...

I hate my stupid teeth. I've been a walking ball of dental pain for awhile now.  Why does everything in the line of quality dental work cost so frigging much? Thankfully, that kind of thing rarely lasts more than a week, so by this weekend I'll be feeling better.

Updated my minecraft server to 1.1 (since bukkit released their 1.1)
If you play and need a new spot to chill, hit it up--senacharim.hopto.me Please be polite, and no griefing.

Short post this week--too busy working to put any of my good thoughts into print.  Oh well, there will be later.

-=Ideas=-
Hotlist App: For smart phones--an app which automatically ranks for you which apps you use the most--and also provides a quick shortcut to same said apps.
Could also find grander use in voluntarily shared data a'la "(blank) was the most used app among x phone users in the month of January" or somesuch, with valid claims to high degrees of accuracy.

This week, I discovered the joy that is Penny Arcade TV.

In the world of C coding, does anybody out there have an elegant lite-weight way to programmatically mount USB drives which your embedded ARM Linux automatically detects but doesn't mount? Just curious... I ended up doing a cyclic "is there /dev/sd?" check and then just calling the "mount" command in the system... tis ugly but effective.

Seeing as I kinda jot down whatever I'm thinking in this to-be blog post per diem--today many websites I normally visit as part of my "morning coffee" lineup have gone dark in protest of SOPA/PIPA. Good! The ants need not be afraid once they realize they outnumber their erstwhile masters 50 million to one... but no ranting on that.

Stray thoughts: Try new things. Especially if you're an older business, like the MPAA or the RIAA. Try not to blame others for your own inability to adapt.

Product idea: PC Bad Power Supply alarm. Connects twixt the computer's powers supply & 24-pin ATX connector. Makes loud noise if/when voltage does funny things--could end up saving you hundreds or thousands on computer parts--should be able to make them for like $10 each after initial development is done.

Anyhow, that's all for this week, happy Friday everybody.

Short week update

Exciting news! Microchip has begun offering a native Linux compiler for their PIC lines!

Lately, I seem to have accidentally memorised my credit card number...

Anyhow, memory handling in C is some tough stuff. My C code is rusty--almost tetanus rusty. But, with the rate I'm applying myself it'll by shiny again in no time.

Guess not much this week... more to come.
