Dragon*Con 2009


So Dragon*Con 2009 is in Atlanta right now. At Peachtree Center. Which is Where I work. Live is great, eh?



WebView Snapshot 0.7.3


I know I said that 0.7.2 will be the last free version available. However, I changed my mind after finding a pretty bad bug in it.

Perfect Day At Work

Embedded Device Assistance


I am working on a new project that I was hoping that some of ya'll would be able to help me with. I am looking for suppliers for the following parts:


1. An embedded device motherboard, preferably ARM or x86 based. Not picky, but must run Linux decently, or at the very least, be able to be targeted by a C/C++ compiler.
2. Cheap LCD panels (around 5-7 inches). Can be low quality dot matrix type. Just needs to be able to display black and white text readily.

This is for a personal project building a cheap, simple eBook reader. Target price is $100.00.
