I have interviewed the author of the fascinating software Contiki OS, lwIP, uIP and protothreads, and asked him questions about the software itself, the way he develops on embedded platforms, as well as his interests in sensor networks and opensource.

When you want people to read it, you shouldn't use this eye-hurting pink background.
"...whereas the Internet have high bandwidth
links with virtually no bit errors." .... Tell that to my adsl provider! 
So is it basically how Half-Life 2's flying scanners work?
And very impressive, how Adam develops everything on a simulation layer and then transfers the thing to devices with barely RAM at all 
I ported contiki-X to BeOS, works nice.
thinking about porting it to my ORIC Atmos... Shame I'm too busy.
I'm surprised that neither the interviewer nor the interviewee mentioned the wireless sensor networks as described in Vernor Vinge's now classic sci-fi, "A Deepness in the Sky"...
Adam -- please tell me you've read that book.
Running in a commodore64 emulator under BeOS pretty neat for the size of it.
I missed the pink background,sometimes it'S nicce that netpositive doesnt draw all that crap the other browsers do
NetPositive doesn't support CSS...
In the beginning of the interview, there was a link to an article explaining coroutines. Coroutines seems to have some things in common with cooperative multitasking (that we all like bashing win3.11 for having).
Am I wrong? What would the obvious differences between them be?
It is a trick to fake coroutines in C. I liked it very much:

For once a C trick which is about making things clearer.
Thanks for the interview, very interesting reading.
Is that a MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network)? What routing protocol was being used?
Just ran across this link:

which seems apropos here.
