discussion of how Windows needs to run the install process. Pete was
confused by questions where he couldn’t figure out or kept changing
his mind about the subject being to do with how things work with
Linux now, how Windows has to do the same thing, how things should be
eventually, etc, etc. Frustrating low S/N ratio.

did a combination show and tell and monologue about how Quercus might
operate in the future, focusing on the notion that the aardvark/ant
abstract away a great deal of complication and allow the user to
focus more on their application. He shared details about some
peripherals he is using with his Quercus superset and described some
that he expect to use in the future. Here are some additional notes
about what Nick said:</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:115%;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;orphans:2;widows:2" align="left"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:115%;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;orphans:2;widows:2" align="left">(for
Nick to clarify) Nicks report from the future:</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:115%;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;orphans:2;widows:2" align="left">Ant
runs on the device, Aardvark runs on a laptop or desktop. Ant
virtualizes the I2C interface, allowing the device to talk to an I2C
master. ESP has 2 web addresses the first is your home Wi-Fi the
second is at 192.168.44.1, from here you can configure the device
after entering your password and selecting from a ‘list’ of
command line options. OTA upgrades are happening. The device can scan
the SSID’s that it knows about and report the status of them. An SD
card has been added to one of the devices, as well as a 32 bit ADC
(open source from CERN).</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:115%;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;orphans:2;widows:2" align="left"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:115%;background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;orphans:2;widows:2" align="left">Time
did not allow for the hands on session with the blinky app to get
into use of the Renesas/Dialog synthesis tool (“Go configure”).
[Anybody else find this to be a HILARIOUS play on words (i.e. go
figure) that the Dialog marketeers might not have intended?]</p><br></div>
