Recently Cowering has been releasing updated versions of his GoodDATs, bumping each DAT up to a seemingly arbitrarily chosen version 2.01. French fileserver playagain.net has dutifully been providing me with the updated ROM sets which I spent awhile this evening integrating into my arcade server.

Right now I've got the arcade control panel hooked up to the TV along with the arcade server, so when I want to I can play games on our fancy-pants 32" TV. It's pretty nice, but I still want to build the arcade cabinet. I have a feeling that will be a present to myself for finishing my thesis, and that's still a long way off.

I can't think of a good Ides of March joke... Perhaps there is no such animal.

Anyway, I did more work on the GroganBuster tonight. I got the bulkheads all drilled out and the igniter binding posts installed. I still need to solder the leads to the binding posts, then I can epoxy the aft bulkhead assembley into the electronics module. Once that's done, the rocket will be ready to paint. I'm hoping to get that much done this weekend so that Drew and I can possibly get some work done on it after this Sunday's launch. It's going to look awesome.
