Do not be alarmed. Count till 10. Then shoot the monitor if you still feel like it.) But yeah, the exe from source forge works. Inkscape download site: http://www.inkscape.org/download/ Click the appropriate version you want. The "portable" version is nice if you want to install on a pen drive or an external hard disk. Otherwise the regular installation will do. In case anyone was wondering where to get them from:

]]> Comment on AVR Class at Makers Local 256 by mike http://256.makerslocal.org/2009/10/05/avr-class-at-makers-local-256/comment-page-1/#comment-67 mike Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:46:33 +0000 http://256.makerslocal.org/?p=277#comment-67 To elaborate, this class will focus on using Arudiuno hardware but using standard AVR development. We will not be using the Arduino software stack. After this class you could use a breadboard and a bare chip to play with whatever projects you want. You'll realize just how easy it is to do with the standard AVR tools. If you are attending the class and have a special interest you want us to cover, let me know beforhand. I'll do my best to find a way to cover it if I can. If not, I can at least do some research so we can talk about it after the class. In addition to the things that #matt will be getting you for $30 (presumably an arduino and usb cord), you'll probably want the following: a laptop with the avr software loaded (not the arduino software) a breadboard To elaborate, this class will focus on using Arudiuno hardware but using standard AVR development.
