[avrdude-dev] Hello

[Mike Perks]

Hi,

I just started appending to this list so I thought it would be a good 
idea to introduce myself.

I am a professional software engineer/architect at a large 
software/hardware company. I actually got interested in first 
electronics and then software as a teenager. That was 30 years ago. I 
have a wealth of experience in C, C++ and Java and have used all 3 to 
build large software applications for both my company products and for 
customers with custom applications.

I got back into electronics a few years ago and AVRs in particular. I 
have several websites including:

   * http://home.austin.rr.com/perks/micros/
   * http://oakmicros.com

I started Oak Micros to first create ZBasic devices (based on AVRs) and 
then AVR devices such as the om128.

I like the functionality of AVRDude but have always found it hard to 
use. Recently I started working on updating my 3 year old AVR910 
programmer and hit some device code problems (documented on avrfreaks 
but needs to be copied here to be hopefully fixed in the next release).

So rather than just simply complain about problems I thought I would get 
involved.

Regards
Mike Perks
