Guys/Gals,

We’ve been under a bot attack to our Comments area….if you have posted a comment in the past and don’t see it – please repeat the comment again.  If you would like to post a comment – you will now need to be a registered user on the site AND be logged in before you can post.  This is hoped to help reduce the amount of comment spam.

We have talked about this further and we are going to open it back up for comments. No login needed, as long as we can handle it. We want to make it easier for our users, yet keep the spammers and such away.

Most of the comments clearly come from bots. There are lots of links from porn sites and people who purport to sell drugs. None of those will ever be approved, but I doubt the bots will notice this message. A little more interesting are the comments that are just linkbait. A few examples were

    My wife and I have been longing for this facts all afternoon.

    I really love to read this post and I am glad to find your distinguished way of writing the post.

    Buy cod cheapest Singapore

    Once again, you have managed to captivate my interest with another great post. I find it all very exciting.

I know cod is a northern fish, so I don’t understand why anyone would expect to get it from Singapore. The others are nice compliments, if they were real. But, they are all so generic that I don’t believe someone actually, consciously entered them to our website. If you genuinely made a comment, and it has not shown up, please try again. Make some reference to our actual content and don’t include a link to some site that wants to sell something.

Introducing Pinguino

Monday, 14. December 2009 18:55

logo_pinguinoPinguino is an Arduino-like board based on a PIC Microcontroller. The goal of this project is to build an integrated IDE easy to use on LINUX, WINDOWS and MAC OS X. Arduino is a powerful tool with some defaults. One of its inconveniences are a no native USB interface on the chip and its code length.

The IDE of Pinguino is built with Python. An integrated preprocessor translates specific Arduino instructions directly into C. This preprocessor reduces the code length and the execution speed. Pinguino hardware is based on a 18F2550. This chip has an integrated native USB module and an UART for serial link.
