I've been very busy of late, but the biggest news is that I've started a 3-month temporary part-time assignment here. It's a neat place, and feels a lot like a software startup. Even though it's a small group, they've got certain hardware requirements that are a lot bigger than what I've worked with before; it'll be interesting, to say the least.
