I'm going to cheat a little because I didn't get home from work until about 20 minutes ago. This is a place-holder until I have a bit of time to write about something. I'll likely be doing a bit of MSP430 assembly again tonight since I have my MSP-EXPFR5969's firmware up-to-date now.

Ok, I really did end up doing a bit of MSP430 assembly. Energia on Linux was still complaining about the programmer firmware still being out of date, so I went through and more thoroughly tried updating it. I then went back and started stepping through my attempted port of JonesForth to the MSP430.
