General purpose for all cannon models.
Goto Ebay and get a cheap chinese made camera shutter release.
The one I ordered was entitled “Shutter Release Cable for Canon EOS 5D 40D 30D 20D”
Once this comes in, cut off the end, you need the connector to connect to the higher end cannon models, but electrically they all work [...]
I was programming the arduino and ran into a limitation regarding the memory inside the device. The 328 chip only has 2KB of RAM for data strings. And if you lose power that memory goes away. It has 1KB of eeprom that is retained between reboots, which is only a day or two of data [...]
Lets build an alarm clock.
It has to be better than a regular alarm clocks in several ways. The first thing is that the alarm should only sound on work days. It should not go off on weekdays nor on days on an exception list, these are holidays, no work.
It should slowly begin making chirping noises [...]
I installed the bootloader on 25 atmega268 chips that I just bought following these directions: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP
I saw the hackduino project here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Perfboard-Hackduino-Arduino-compatible-circuit/ This looked very interesting and I knew that I could complete this project with minimal effort. I also thought that I could route the wiring so that it took up minimal space.
I wired [...]

I created a very primitive sprite collision scheme built into my multi bouncing ball demo.
Here is the Youtube video: First Sprite Collision Attempt
Here is the code:
collision.c
You compile the code like this:
gcc `sdl-config –cflags –libs` collision.c
Enjoy.

This guy built his own computer, including the cpu.
Until now, all netbooks were engineered the same way: Power-hungry Intel Atom, ugly case, and outdated 90’s OS. Our goal: To achieve a breakthrough in both architecture and design. The result: a revolutionary device that works as both a netbook and a standalone tablet thanks to a detachable keyboard and a 3D touchscreen user interface.

Marvell Semiconductor is shipping a hardware/software development kit suitable for always-on home automation devices and service gateways. Resembling a “wall-wart” power adapter, the SheevaPlug draws 5 Watts, comes with Linux, and boasts completely open hardware and software designs, Marvell says.
UPX is a portable, extendable, high-performance executable packer for several different executable formats, including linux/elf386, vmlinuz/386 and win32/pe. It achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers *very* fast decompression.
One of the things I had to do with the netbook when I installed easy peasy ubuntu onto it, was to create a startup disk that ran from a USB port. Here is a tutorial on how to create a boot thumb drive of nearly any Linux install disks.
