Awesome!

If it makes you feel better, I did that once myself... I forgot to
upload the Transterpreter to a new Freeduino, and then spent 30
minutes looking for bad solder connections. Silly me. A goal is to
have a sanity-check built in that makes sure the Transterpreter is
there before you try to upload bytecode (which would eliminate this
error). It's a good "user-centered" problem to fix, so figuring out
how to do that is a very good thing.

Please feel free to ask questions/harass us to write about things (or,
you're even welcome to contribute notes about things you explore
too---the book is open). We have future direction for the book, but if
we can include things sooner (or post things to the WWW), we're happy
to target things that are useful to people now.

And thanks for giving things a go.

Team: I haven't heard about any more books---should I start my pursuit
of publishers with the books I know about, and see about getting them
released unto the world?

Cheers,
Matt
