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.
