Latex + Inline spell check

Well, after 3 days of trying to activate a good inline spell check on Kile, which is impossible right now, and after trying to compile the hello world plugin for Kate to create a plugin that highlight that misspelled words, which is almost impossible too because of some mistakes on the example, and trying to use emacs for latex + flyspell (it works, but is not very nice), I found that Gedit with its plugin for latex is now really great and has inline spell check!!!, also it list all the structure of the document in a side panel, and has more features, and the best is that is a Gnome app.

I love my Linux Kernel.

Well, I just love it.

Right now I'm working in a driver for a couple of circuits with a DAC, ADC and a encoder to connect my old Gumstix Connex to a PLC Unitronics, and two Variable speed driver Altivar ATV31.

The driver basically read through SPI the data that the ADC get from a current loop. And through SPI the resulting data is send to the drivers. The encoder work with three GPIO interrupt.

I'll try to write later on this. For now, a couple of pages that are really helpful:
