Me too, lol. I had a video of version two, but it was on my old webserver.

Anyways, I accidently wiped out the file system on the LlamaBox over a week ago and I am just now getting to reinstalling gentoo, I'm may take a look at DSL first. So, it may be a little while before I can film another video.

Ahha, pretty cool. There are too many llamas around...

Rats, I think my VFD may be broken.

Yeah, my VFD was definately fried. I just ordered a new one from Noritake. The good news is, my toolkit also allows me to run my programs under X11. So, I can still develop the software without needing the hardware. The database is around 50% complete and the audiosystem is complete (for this version).

Many thanks to yrean for hosting my images!
