If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.

cygwin and unix2dos / dos2unix
On July 17th, 2009 Ed Skinner (not verified) says:
Unix2dos and dos2unix are also included in the unix-compatible tools for Windows distribution called cygwin. I put this on all the (evil) Windows machines I (am forced to) use to facilitate text file manipulations regardless of which environment, Linux or Windows, I'm sitting at.
How about a TechTip on installing cygwin? I use the installed shell all the time. And if you also install Eclipse on your Windows machine, you can then code and compile on Windows in Eclipse, all for free!
