NTP 1.4 works!

A few weeks ago I attended linux.conf.au 2012 in Ballarat, Australia. I’ve attended it for many years now (every year since 2006!) and the conference has always been a great place to see what other people are doing with open … Continue reading

All electronics exists to convert electricity into (mostly) heat. It just happens to do something useful along the way. The progression on the design so far has been to consider digital issues first (make the circuit work at all), then … Continue reading

XMega Clock System
The change between the AVR Mega and XMega architectures that I like the most is the clock system. It would be fair to say I have little love for the way that the Mega implements clock options, and given the … Continue reading
It would help if I knew what done looked like
Clearly posting about the NTP Server v1.4 board being done was a mistake, as I ended up launching myself into a major overhaul of it anyway. Yep, 1.4c was forked into 1.4d and has many many changes. Part of the … Continue reading
