The AArduino

Although the Arduino is very convenient, I wanted to build my own from parts you can buy from RS or Farnell. Rather than cloning the Arduino, I took the opportunity to make some changes: I removed the USB/Serial interface because I've got a ICSP programmer, but added crude support for dual AA battery support. The AA cells suggest a good name: the AArduino!

Etch to lenny upgrades on Xen

I have a bunch of virtual Debian machines on a Xen box. When they were installed I used etch, but I've just moved one domU to lenny: here's my crib sheet. I suspect it won't be generally useful.
