Put - The - Sword - Down!!!

If you continue programming microcontrollers ...
You will have MANY problems more deserving of seppuku.
Don't do it over you're first Blinky program.

There's 1 problem you won't have again.
Only about a million more to find.

Every one will be a "bitch".
But like you've already found out, the feeling you get when it finally works, makes it all worthwhile.

Happy PICing!
