Full steam ahead!

Well, I just received my Atmel ATmega8 chips, programmer and dev board. Plugged it all in, and flashed my first program. Of course the penultimate LED flasher. It’s so easy these days. No mucking around with OTP, or EPROM. Sheesh.
Because I’m using Debian – I, of course, am using avr-gcc. A simple apt-get fixes that up. The programmer came from sparkfun.com, and is based on the simple serial bitbash programmers. I use Ponyprog to do the actual programming.
