chaoswolf came down from her room to play me "Banks of the Ohio", the first actual song in her book, on her new guitar. Her grin of triumph was a joy to see; she's been having trouble wrapping her head around musical notation, and her muscle memory hasn't kicked in yet. But she's getting it.
At work, we've been looking for a small, handheld device to run my little server on. ( geekish details )
Wednesday morning our shipment from Crossbow arrived, with a pair of Stargate development kits. This is a 400MHz Xscale-based Linux board that can easily hide under a playing card. It shipped with a free Java runtime called Wonka that had apparently been trimmed somewhat by the Crossbow folks; dropping back to the version available on the Wonka site finally gave me a working mini-server at about 5:30 yesterday evening. Happy geek.
