Growing the Company - Please Read
This email arrived the next day after the haunted doll thing. To be honest, Lili nailed something that has been personally bothering me for a bit - some of the stuff I've been making here is... stuff. Some of it is Joe's, uh, 'ideas'. But the ratio of potentially useful or fun projects to dubious projects has been a bit skewed for my liking.
Of course, the question is, is this going to change in the future?

Gah, I feel a little bad now, but it's good to know that Jie is seemingly on top of things (I assume that e-mail was supposed to go to him only). Maybe this'll be the kick in the pants Joe needs.
I don't think Joe reports to Jie, actually. Jie's the chief Engineer, but that just makes him my boss and Carl's.
Of course, this just means that Joe meant to send the message to someone higher up the chain...

Want to save ¥1?
If you drop the lower left chip 1 space then you can run the X0 from the upper left chip under itself to avoid using the bridge.
Remember: Any component that is 3 wide lets you run a wire down the middle without interfering with it's operation.
OK, two separate responses here.
First off: Bridges are actually free! Well, OK, they're not free free. Longteng does pay something for them, but the cost is really, really marginal. I think it's something like ¥.026 per bridge, or thereabouts.
Second: Wait, you can run wires under chips?!
I did not know that at all! I'm going to have to test this out at some point!!

Something about this makes me want to write a short introduction to x86 assembly...
I miss binary shift-compatible registers. Decimalized MCs are... strange. You should totally write it, though!
