I took 15-213 at CMU. The moment I saw that code block I knew that's where you came from. One of the best clases I've taken there.

Good old csapp.c http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ece845/sp02/csapp.c

We actually have very mixed feelings about csapp.c. Students don't seem to understand that you should quit the whole program just because one thread fails. Especially in servers (like proxy lab :))

Still, an awesome class!

"shouldn't", you mean?

yeah, my bad :)

Though this isn't a particularly interesting blog entry, Coding the Wheel otherwise has some of the best programming posts I've read on the web. The rest of the content is worth checking out. (Especially for the Poker Bot tutorial series.)

Can someone give me a sense of some projects you can do with a Teensy? I've never played around with programming chips like this before but sounds pretty cool from the comments.

It's difficult to give a scope of the possibilities. An autonomous 'remote control' car has been mentioned above. Other types of robots. Musical instruments. Burglar alarms.

Take a look at the exhibition section of the arduino forum: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=projects Also the projects from the "Designing with Microcontrollers" class at Cornell University: http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/ee476/FinalProjects...
