March comes in like a Golden Retriever
Rather than a half-hour of shoveling we chose two hours of snowman and
igloo building. With a little help from our friends at
Deli-cat we were
able to quickly build blocks to assemble the igloo. Our glorious picture spread is
here.

Automated Copying of Schematics and PCB Layouts
I added two scripts, pcb-matrix and sch-matrix, that replicate PCB and
schematic structures by copying an input file to an output file
multiple times incrementing the
(x,y) position of each
copy. The scripts and documentation are located
here.

CSS Design for Luciani.org
Inspired by the design examples at
CSS Zen Garden
I created a CSS style sheet for
Luciani.org. The Zen Garden design I like the most is
Backyard by
Ray Henry. The color
scheme is clean, the borders separate without being obtrusive and the design is easy to
navigate. I also liked designs
97,
133 and
157 (sans bugs). To peruse all
of the designs click
