Upgraded WordPress to 2.7.1

I finally reached the limit of my ability to cope with how many editing bugs WordPress 2.2 had when I found I couldn’t embed the YouTube video in that IMU post. So I’ve updated to 2.7.1, which lets me edit in Chrome, lets me embed stuff, and fixes the visible escape character in the tag line.

Let me know if you see any problems.

Six degrees of fish

A demonstration of using a SparkFun 6DOF IMU to control models in a scene. The fish on the left uses just the pitch and roll as determined by the accelerometers. The fish on the right uses primarily the gyros and lets the accelerometers correct against bias drift.

The rendering is done in Ogre. The fish are example models that come with the engine.
