Not much, really. Full time network admin at the Linguistics department at Ohio State University, developer on the xbox-linux project, developer on project193, which is more just for the engineering department at OSU, but still open source. Other than those two, I just hack scripts and do the occasionaly patch on open source software I use. Still trying to finish my undergrad degree in CIS as well, but that won't happen for a couple of more years.

Project 193 might be interesting to you guys... We're developing a robotics microcontroller targeted at educational use for first year college engineers. It's going to be much more robust than that, but the Engineering department is funding us so that's our primary goal. We're using an intel core with external modules that communicate over i2c. You can customize it however you like, adding as many motor modules, pwm modules, sensor modules, etc... as you like. Unfortunately we have a crap website now. You can look at the project page at: http://www.sf.net/projects/project193/

Actually, my SMS script broke a few weeks ago. With First and stuff, I haven't found the time to fix it, but some guy just emailed me a patch. I haven't heard back from him if he wants to maintain the script from now on or not, but I'll get that publically available soon.

Re: Linux: steps to program fullsize RC robot

Interesting, I think after build season we're going to use one of my laptops as a robot controller, :-P and try to get someone to give us GPS and make a REALLY big robot.
