I couldn't wait, I tried it and it works. :) I just did the silkscreen on
a PCB and things went well, no more waste of Pulsar paper.

So here I am, getting a good chuckle out of Stefan with his static bug and
how he forgot to wire the master reset pin properly. :D And then I had
this nagging feeling something was wrong with my own design. I've gone for
a totally modular design and moved switches and LEDs to a separate PCB,
including MCLR.

Sure enough, I wired the master clear BACKWARDS. My mcu was only going to
work when I pressed and held reset. D'UH! Of course I just etched the PCB
a few hours ago so I had to make a few snips across some traces, gonna add
jumpers tomorrow when I assemble it.

Man, I can just imagine myself trying to debug this bug later.
