		<description><![CDATA[One of my New Year&#8217;s resolutions is to do a better job marketing our products.  Five and a half years ago I was much more aggressive about sending out brochures and postcards regularly.  Of course, back then we weren&#8217;t really making any sales so I had plenty of time on my hands to [...]]]></description>

Ok, I&#8217;m actually jumping over a more intricate bug description in this post just because I find this one too much fun to pass up.
I discovered a bug in SpikeMark that would spew out erroneous log message, but only after the computer running SpikeMark had been running for 25 days or more without a reboot. [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;ve been paying attention to the updates on our site, you may have noticed a flurry of activity recently.  We added some new features to SpikeMark which I&#8217;ll discuss in another post, but we also have been tracking down some nasty little bugs.

I&#8217;m a gadget hound and have been keenly interested in the idea of tablet pc&#8217;s since they launched way back in 2002.  In fact, I worked the launch event in NYC running the automation system for the show.  I also would love to incorporate touch-capability in our motor control software, but have been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a banner day last week when we shipped our 1000th piece of gear.  Yep, serial number 1000 rolled out the door attached to a lovely new Stagehand.  I leaned over and said, &#8220;Ian, ring the bell, we just solid our one-thousandth product!&#8221;
He unenthusiastically replied, &#8220;We don&#8217;t have a bell.&#8221;
Oh well, I was impressed.
