Picked up a book on node on Saturday, started getting a more in depth idea of what I’m doing while still poking at the things for now. Went to fire up the Thing, and realized post last reinstall that I hadn’t loaded the Arduino software. No biggy. I use apt get and away I… what the… 1.0.5? What the shit is being that far behind in the repositories. Right. Removed it. Ran all the today’s I blow off. Downloaded from Arduino.cc.
This is making me thinki might need to up the timeframe for migrating away from Ubuntu. I never much liked a lot of what they do, and this just shows the fatal flaw with how that did it.
