There is alot of interesting things happening in the embedded corner. Actually,
embedded can mean alot, but I like the concept where you get much of the joys
of modern development but wrap it up to seem like a dedicated thing which
requires virtually no skills to use. It should virtually be push a button and
it works.

That would make two of us. I've never played DOOM (or Wolfenstein or any other
similar game). I do however have a tendency to like computers. This machine is
a double-CPU thinge, and I've got another two by the bed (one of them is a
router/NAT-server). I never where good at games back on the C-64, and if I play
games now it is Minesweeper or Mahjong or something similar.

I usually say that I play an adventure game which constantly comes in new
shapes and formes. It has many strange and obscure dungeons, it is played by
many in the world and controls much of it. It's called UNIX!

Oh, I forgot to boot my phone on Linux... gotta fix!
