I would like to formally announce that the #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer revD development (the next iteration: with the same FPGA but 32 digital I/Os and 8 single-ended analog channels that can be configured as 4 differential ones) is well underway with a CS campaign planned later this year; stay tuned!

the meme image where Sanae from Touhou is distressed to learn the Nintendo DS is a retro console, but I've edited it to say “Huh? No, retro Linux versions are like 1.3 and 1.0, right?” and “Linux 2.6 is still pretty new…”

added a new #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer applet, `control-clock`: a simple clock generator for when you just need to feed something into the XI pin of an MCU or something. you can use it in combination with other applets! e.g.: `glasgow multi probe-rs ... ++ control-clock --clk A7 -f 2000`

honestly the funniest part with the whole Blanchard thing (I can say this since I'm in a much better place to engage with it than when I first ran into that stuff and saw it -- or rather, my misinterpretations of it -- as cruel personal judgments that threatened to thwart me from transitioning), is

we do respect in theory the concept of trying to avoid sounding like a weeb when translating, but the problem with that is that the monogatari series is fundamentally otaku media, the characters constantly make otaku culture references, they *should* sound like weebs you know!

Of course delightfully apt that when you have no clocking issues; the FPGA toolchain says your design passes (passes timing analysis, that is).
