A few updates...

Cris 'CaptCPU' Egger has got the CoCoHut Message Board operational again. Everyone who was a member will will need to re-register.

I've finally ordered the parts to my Christmas Light Sequencers. Hidden in amongst the IC's, LED's and such for that projects are the parts I need to (hopefully) fix my MPI. I will be removing and replacing several of the MPI's IC's. Of course the replacements will be socketed for easier future replacement. So in a few days I may have some happier news to report...

Still here, just busy

Greetings repack followers (all 3 of you)!!!! Been almost a month and a half so I figured it's time for a quick update. I'm ashamed to say, I've done almost ZERO CoCoing during the last six weeks. Work, family and life keeps getting in the way, pretty much in that order:

Work: moved our main office during July - working overtime when you're salaried (is that a word?) sucks...
Family: Yes, I'm married, yes I've got kids, yes, all demand a portion of my time...
Life: Still working on closing on the house (3 months AFTER moving in), a friend of ours estranged wife and her boyfriend are apparently being held for murder of his (my friends') two year old baby girl (obit here, article here and here. Words cannot accurately express how I feel about this. Good friends of ours are hurting right now. Ira, Callie's dad is a good man. Eli, Becky, Kaili and the rest of their family have to be going thru hell right now. My prayers are with them. I don't know what I can say about the mother. She worked for my wife when we had a pizza store in southern Ohio a few years back. To think she may be capable of something like this just sends chills up and down my spine. Unbelievable.

Not a very CoCoish post, but, oh well...

Hopefully, I'll be closing on my house by the end of the month and then maybe get Evil Lab Florida built and functioning so I can do some serious CoCo evilness during the fall and holiday season. Oh, that and my Christmas light display. If you like synchronized light displays such as this, then you give Do It Yourself Christmas a visit. All of the resources are there to help you build your own controller (and yes, Cris, you can do this...) and set up a display of your own!!!
