I've been meaning to mention the new company I'm working at, Frontier Design Group. Frontier is a small digital audio company founded by a couple of smart fellows I worked with back at Fostex R&D. Since starting the company they've created a half dozen professional level audio products for PCs and Macs. Frontier also develops cool gear for Tascam: the US-224 and US-448. Check them out.
Part of the job is getting up to speed on Windows development, notably Windows CE. There's Win32, MFC, and now .NET with each one taking up more and more of a poor little embedded device's mind. After a few weeks of wallowing in books and code I can relate to the new Joel on Software essay on leaky abstractions.
