this isn't a build log, just an update on the state of the project and an explanation of why there hasn't been any updates of late. first off, I will be exhibiting this project at maker faire Ottawa(!). so if you're in the national capital region for August 16th  and 17th (2014) you should come out to the Science and Tech museum, link. I haven't had time to post any real updates because I have been busy trying to finish the computer, at this point it looks like it may be functional for maker faire, however that is still tentative. my goal is to display the computer (hopefully running a program) along with posters and potentially a couple of 'demo gates' that faire-goers can interact with. 

TL;DR: come to maker faire Ottawa (August 16th&17th) to see the computer.
