Re: site navigation

Also, regarding the user profile pictures: It'd be nice to be able to crop your pictures, or resize them to their original ratio with white borders, because they only get compressed (and make people look weird) right now...

Re: Digikey exclusive development boards

Yes I am ;-) I ordered several times through them, always quick shipping, and any order over 65 euros gets shipped for free, though you would HAVE to order through your local site for this to be valid. They do have some stuff that's only for sale on their .com-site, but then we're speaking pretty sh...
