Glass Half Empty

...and I think someone just scored a point from me.

If you remember, I was having some interesting trouble with the Ethernet chip on my development board earlier this week. It turns out that the chip is, in fact, exactly where I think it is in the memory map. When the support email came back, the response was basically "Heh, so it does. I wonder why that is?" So, no simple solutions for me, then... I'm really starting to hate this part of the project, as there seems to be so much fumbling around in the dark, and so little progress, at the moment.

Also, Michael Jackson is dead (to add to the hysteria, except not). I remember his was the first album I ever owned, on cassette, back in the days before CDs. From what we've seen of him in the last few years, though, I think he died a while before he was dead: there didn't seem to be much left of the MJ of the eighties and nineties. More of the names and faces of my childhood going away. I guess this is what growing old feels like.
