Who could have ever guessed that naming different software the same thing would ever come back to bite them

Oh man I thought I understood the whole joke but missed the "cell wall" pun

Yep, I've got one of those going already! I'm currently working on improving the power consumption so I can run it off a LiFePO4 without recharging every week.
