Originally I've sent weekly e-mail updates to the dev mailing list, but I thought these might be fun and informative for public consumption as well. So now I will just updates via blog posts here:

I know that SourceForge has a Hosted App feature for Wordpress, but it is lame and doesn't support switching themes. The blog will just contain progress updates for...

Here are the graphics / slides for the brief, 10-minute talk Aaron and I gave to undergrads in the CSE 467 (Advanced Digital Design) class this morning. Our goal is to encourage more engineering students to participate in the pulse programmer and to connect them with physicists who need engineering collaborators.

Aaron has returned from California and southeast Asia to work on the yellow box in Boris's lab this quarter, as part of his secret bonus year at UW. I am sure you are all relieved that I am not wandering around without undergraduate supervision.
Also, I've updated the People page with the right names and affiliations, at least in Seattle. Please feel free to add to this page to describe your...

I had a good-bye lunch with Frank two weeks ago. He is probably well on his way to New Mexico now on a family roadtrip, where I hope he gets to see White Sands National Monument, the Earthship village in Taos, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Good luck in your future plans, Frank!
In related news, the fall quarter just started here at UW yesterday. This means new students have arrived who...

I enabled git for this project in SourceForge, to use for developing the upcoming input counting firmware feature in a temporarily closed source way, and then merging it into the open source repository when it is released. So now we are using four different version control systems, and the links on the left sidebar for each of CVS, Subversion, and Mercurial were getting unwieldly.
I've moved...

I am currently gathering feedback for adding an input counting feedback to the pulse control processor. This will be useful for counting pulses coming from a photomultiplier tube, collecting data over many runs of the same experiment, taking different action based on the pulse counts, or waiting until a particular pulse count has been reached.
The current requirements and design plan for the...

Frank is the latest in a proud tradition of Paul-keepers assigned by Boris to supervise my progress. He is an undergraduate in the University of Washington's Department of Physics and Astronomy, and is currently working in the Trapped Ion Quantum Computing Group here in Seattle. He will graduate at the end of the summer, and his future plans are unknown.
Welcome, Frank!
