The Panic Button

Today I took delivery of one USB Panic Button; I've been wanting one of these for a very long time, and so I'm pleased to finally have one. I don't necessarily have a need to panic a lot, but there's a lot of times a big red button is just so satisfying (launch events, test runs, and so on).

Unfortunately, it comes with a Windows driver CD and the only Linux script I could find was a Perl script. Since I'm not the greatest fan of Perl, and I wanted to try some USB code, I've made my own driver for them.

LastGraph Expiries

Just a heads-up to any LastGraph users to let you know that, soon, I'll be implementing one-week graph storage expiry (but probably not for premium users). There's now 128GB of PDFs being stored on S3, and it's probably time I started not throwing money away.
