Thanks for the feedback on my blog @jdcarpe and @yomammary. I really appreciate it. I am actually quite surprised about the reaction. /r/mk seems to be a little hostile to my posts and they seem to be getting downvoted so I was a little nervous about the reaction on geekhack.
In all honesty I replied to this
post as I thought it would be a good opportunity to do something with a well established company that is known in the community. I thought it might give me some exposure and possible bring me to new heights. Although I was worried how it would be received if I was just promoting a product. However it has been an interesting experience, doing something a little more 'official' on my blog.
I really do appreciate your feedback on my blog though
