Multithreading support is now built in nano (1.1.9) and works well.
I wrote a hello_thread.na programm which uses 4 threads to print out
the "Hello world!" message. This runs really nice.

With the new opcodes is a lot more possible than before.
Just imagine all the cool things you can do now!
This is really cool and we will se what comes next...
It's a real milestone now.

I'm working on multithreading support in nano VM.
It's possible to run the "Hello world!" on two independent threads.
Still missing: some kind of stack for the new thread, to get the caller arguments.
I have to write some code for this. And a mutex function for variables is also
needed. We will see...

I'm working on flow, the nano VM GUI and sound server.
With SDL 1.3 it will be possible to open more than one window,
so flow can handle more than one client. It will become a real
server then. I checked out the SDL 1.3 via mercurial and I'm
trying some things. It's still in alpha stage, so I'm waiting for
the SDL 1.3 release.

Nano 1.1.5 and flow 0.5.4 released:
Flow now has sound: you can play WAV and MP3 files with it.

I'm working on a flow Windows version.
There is a big problem: some DLLs can't be loaded. (Windows 7)
The ieframe.dll and others can't be loaded.
I don't know how to fix this. Maybe I have to wait for a update
from Microsoft. This is a known bug.

About Linux on the Lenovo Idea Pad U550:

I installed Debian Lenny Custom 01160.

Worked out of the box:
- graphics (I installed the ATI driver)
- touchpad
- LAN
- soundcard

Needed some additional work:
- WLAN with wpasupplicant

Still not working:
- webcam
- fingerprint reader

If you know how to make them work, then
let me know.

I'm using KPowersave for battery monitoring.
Which works good.

I have uploaded two pictures of the moon, taken with my
Bresser N203/1000 telescope. I shot them yesterday.

I have updated the hacks pages. There are two new hacks:
the "propeller one" Parallax propeller board and my POV blinken [lights].

Both licensed under the GPL, so mod away as you like!

I'm currently working on a Propeller microcontroller prototype:
the "propeller one". It has a serial port, TV out, keyboard connector,
SD card connector and expansion ports.

I can programm it now and run some stuff on it, but the keyboard
connector is still untested. But I think it will work.
I will put it on the hacks page, when it's fully tested.


Momentan arbeite ich an einem Propeller Mikrokontroller Prototyp:
dem "propeller one". Der hat einen seriellen Port, TV Ausgang, Tastatur-
anschluss, SD Kartenanschluss und Erweiterungsports.

Ich kann Programme laden und ausf�hren, aber der Tastaturanschluss ist
noch nicht getestet worden. Aber ich denke er geht.
Ich werde das Projekt auf die Hacks Seite stellen, wenn alles getestet ist.
