A random post about nothing I've got a few minutes while a colleague reprograms an FPGA (Ah, another interesting word for google to find me on...) to be in line with my latest version of software so I'm taking the time to post a bit more than just links. I'm still missing the nice comfortable world of .NET since I'm still deep in the land of talking to an FPGA from an AMD Elan processor running On Time. I'm spending a lot of time failing to get the SSI interface to work, but I have working code from AMD that I'm porting from real mode to protected mode (pretty trivial) that should cover it. Now I'm off to look for information on what Microsoft and Apple implement differently in MJPEG. What fun. What other blogs are saying about this post. 5:12:24 PM    comment []  trackback []

RIP: Windows XP?. "The successor to Windows XP (due in 2004, and rapidly slipping to 2005) is currently code named Longhorn, and it will not be compatible with your existing software, hardware or methods. Microsoft has already stated that backward compatibility will not be a design feature."... [Lockergnome's Bits and Bytes] My comment? Chris, this guy doesn't have good information. Ignore him. [The Scobleizer Weblog] He's probably refering to things like the new file system breaking disk utilities and the like. That tends to happen every new version of NTFS too.
