Ok, so I killed my laptop (i'm not willing to give this grief point up yet) BUT I did get a lot of work done. Dave McNelis helped on Saturday with a large sum of the tasks.

Project Liquid Fortitude

• Co2 tank was filled up
• Tweaks to the pressure IO devices were done
• Pressure tests
• Tester Application to do a small scale test
• Database data has been filled to C

Project Blinking Lights

• All 256 wires have been cut to length, stripped, crimped, soldered, LED'ed, and have the housing on them.
• USB Hub was bought.

Things left to do? A crap ton. I need to get a PC that can do development work up and going again. Figure I'm going to do that over lunch on Monday. I also need to check in the source code I salvaged from my T42. I also think I'm going to modify how I do the wiring to the relay board since breaking it down is too hard. I dislike the idea of having to always rewire it up if something needs to be moved. I'm going to get some male electrical disconnects to solve this. Anything hooked into the system will be forced to have a connect on it.

Then the UI for Project Liquid Fortitude ... I think Ian Hall and myself have made some awesome progress on it. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have a working prototype of the full application.

So overall, I must say I'm happy with where I'm at. I was semi freaking out with what seemed like a lack of progress just due to the sheer amount of work that had to be done. However, as a developer, I should have known it wasn't as bad as I mentally made it out to be. I was making tons of progress but until each block started to get finished up, it didn't seem like it. What was worse is most of the blocks are the base of other blocks in each of the projects.
