    Part-time designing sticky labels for a food product.
    A friend asked me to do it, and the printer laughed when he heard we were doing leaflets and business cards last month in PowerPoint instead of fancy Adobe software.
    He thought it wouldn't work. Anyway, we proved him wrong, the results were pretty good!

    And also testing/debugging/improving a cheap thermocouple interface.. it's a bit of an ongoing experiment with help from element14 colleagues.

    At the end of the day if it hits the dpi requirement, what's the difference, right?

    Sounds like a good hacky approach :D
