Just ordered an Imperial crapload of parts from Digi-Key.
Chips to evaluate, connectors to evaluate, parts to populate prototype boards... and two of those prototypes get somewhat pricey (several telco relays on one, and a vast number of little PTC resettable fuses on the other - trying to build a nigh-indestructible digital I/O module, after having seen a few NI modules inadvertently fried).
Since I'm currently overcaffeinated* and can't sit still and focus on proper work, this seemed the most constructive use of my time. Maybe tomorrow I'll manage to do something really useful, like writing some documentation and/or Verilog code.
* Over 50mg/day of caffeine, for a couple of weeks running. It has a cumulative effect on me. I'm trying to taper off....
