After an upgrade of WordPress yesterday, I failed to test everything thoroughly, and it seems the upgrade broke the instructions download links. Well actually if the truth be known, the upgrade highlighted a piece of bad code in my page…

But anyway, after being informed of the problem, I have quickly fixed it, and we should be all set to go now. Enjoy!

Bram van der Vlist and Rick van de Westelaken have created a neural network manager for the NXT using Java. The training is done on a PC, then the trained network can be loaded and run autonomously on the NXT. Neat stuff! Read more here.

Well I don’t post many non-LEGO articles here, but I found this post on the support forum for a popular open-source CMS (actually the one I use on my site 🙂 ), and I couldn’t resist linking it here. It was written by Amy Stephen, who has been involved in the Joomla! project for who-knows-how-long, and has answered who-knows-how-many stupid questions (along with quite a few sensible ones). And she’s obviously a Dr Suess fan too 😉

Read the post here – the whole thread is probably worth a gander.

Well this is a technical blog, but today is the 11th of November, the anniversary of Armistice Day, and I thought I’d post a little something to remember the sacrifices of war. So I whipped out an old favourite song of mine, you can listen to it here.

Christoph Bartneck has compiled a simple step-by-step tutorial on how to setup LeJOS NXJ. This will make it easier for folks that just wanna program their robots. Like me.
