Michael Lynch, founder of Tiny Pilot, said he'd used some of my Ansible work in building the TinyPilot update system, and Maxim Devaev, of Pi-KVM, liked…

Best practices for writing code comments

Chiptunes on an ATtiny4 and the 3 Cent Micro
Ever since hearing about Rob Miles' Bitshift Variations in C Minor , a 4-voice polyphonic 16 minute piece of algorithmically generated music, I wanted to implement it in hardware.
