The Clever Monkey

I authored an entry on my new camera, but Prose.io ated it. Anyway, I recently got a sweet deal on a Pentax Q-S1, so I went for it. I’ll probably talk about this more in the future, once I’ve had a chance to play with it more.

It feels like years ago, but I pre-orderd a Tessel 2 when it was announced. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted to do with it, but now I can’t remember what that was. For now, I’ll add it to the list of embedded devices. I’m sure I’ll talk more about that in the future.

I’m also pretty sure I’m about to get an oscilloscope so I can finish trying to fix the TRS-80 Model 100 basketcase I have. No sense in letting the beautiful pleather slip-case go to waste. I even have a perfectly capable cassette player ready to CLOAD some BASIC goodness into it once it’s running again.

All this and more, I promise. Thought, right now I’m immersed in some for-pay C++ hacking. Because, for some reason, I keep getting hired as a Java or Lua coder and end up hacking on C++. All I’ve learned to date is that header files are weird, structs are weirder, and new is evil.

clvrmnky, out.
