00 In the beginning...

To begin, a short introduction: I am Cillian Murphy, a third year Computer Science & Economics student in University College Dublin.

This blog will chart my learning, progress, achievements, and failures in managing a Gumstix computer system, which was provided to us for our team's current software engineering project - more on the team and project later.

This will not be a foolproof tutorial in how to set up a Gumstix system, as I will chart all failures as well as successes. Where possible, I will endeavour to post any methods I use to solve problems I encounter, and will try to refrain from posting failures without a solution, or an idea of how to solve them - hopefully to avoid misleading anyone who might stumble across this blog and take it step-by-step!

So, let's get started...

EDIT: As per a request from a course lecturer, anything particularly interesting in our setup (bluetooth GPS system, I'm looking at you) will likely be posted to this wiki
