Hi, my name is Michael Natrin and I'm a sophomore in the University of Delaware's Electrical Engineering program. I recently became a member of CVORG where I help out on a team researching RFID location tracking technology.

I have some interests and a few hobbies. These include ubuntu linux, geocaching, wardriving, sailing, biking, and battlestar galactica. I play and referee soccer. I play lots of guitars and enjoy recording my own and other people's music using ProTools. I occasionally play in an alternative-funk-rock-acoustic-cowbell band. I aspire to be Josh's personal assistant.

• code for the digital IR sensor which will wake up the HCS08 CPU to count the number of people passing
• code for the HCS08 to transmit/receive commands and status notifications via the com port (which will eventually be wireless via ZigBee)
• wrote a tutorial for how to use tortoise svn in windows: tortoisesvn
• created a diagram of the entire system
• created a working table of ports and interrupts used in the HCS08 code.
• worked with the crime tracker database extensively, creating a massive script to filter out and clean bad entries that didn't match up to the location names from our coordinate table. update 2009/02/03 19:12 - committed the corrections.py script to our sensor platform svn
• collaborated with Rob H. and Larry to combine all of the firmware code and set it up with the different ports on our CyberHub v0.1. Major help from Nick and Steve thanks
• soldered connections, wired, and hot glued the insides of our “PlayStation” system together. hopefully it works

Also, in case there is any confusion, I am not a cat. I don't surf either.
