Hmmkay. It's been a while. I've been busy. I'm still busy. Design is keeping me busy. This is what our fuel injector testing system looks like so far:
I'm mostly in charge of the C code for the microcontroller.
Now here are some kitty pictures.
Now here's a song meme.
One point for the artist*, one point for the title, bonus point for finishing up the line/stanza/verse, you know, basically singing it it in your head, but on your keyboard. You get bonus points for that here.
*Original artist, except in cases where a cover artist is iconic-ly known for it (eg. All Along the Watchtower: Hendrix would be acceptable, and probably preferable to Dylan. Prince's Corollary: "Kiss" is NOT a Tom Jones song.)
I'll repost with the answers in about a week. Some are (IMHO) harder than others, as indicated. No Google-cheating or looking off my last.fm page :P
