easy.
Ok, cool the display lights up.. now I spent saturday adding a step up converter since I forgot I need 12 volts for an OLED display but the control board has got to be able to run from 10.8. Now I just have to write the graphics library and fonts this evening and then I can get up early in the morning to bike down to the isle of Wight for my ( Read more... ) -

Damnit brain this is not a good time to start freaking out and going all panicky on me. I need comms up and running because I have to try and email my boss to ask for monday off. It's not really that complicated it doesn't have to be bloody poetry, just get the point across. Stop being paranoid about saying the wrong thing ( Read more... ) -

Everyday ordinary things like electrolytic capacitors and .1" molex connectors. The supplied libraries have cryptic names mixing inches and millimeters all over the place, and are written by a frenchman so even the ( Read more... ) -
fed up.. a rant in several parts.
Today I am fed up with Unity on ubuntu, and further finding it really hard to get back to the old gnome panel I had where there was a programs button in the right place (with apps sorted into neat categories unlike windows), a taskbar with all my open windows (you know, the stuff I'm actually doing right now rather than a bunch of things I might ( Read more... ) -
vote. now.
Today is a real turning point for this country, a day when we decide if we want something better for the future or if we want to linger on with shoddy politics endlessly dreaming about how great the second world war was. People have fought and died to get this far, and to my mind, if people don't vote for AV, they cease to have any right to ( Read more... ) -
result
I think this has been a good result really.. 4th party on the list for southern England on the telly is now coloured green, and they keep running a story on the headlines along the lines of Green party Historic Win. Whereas the BNP lost, so it's all good ( Read more... ) -

In spite of it all, I am quite liking the idea of assemblies. It's about time the arbitrary conceptual distinction between executables and libraries got thrown away, an executable is after all just a library with a default entry point ( Read more... ) -

Do you seriously mean that in order to access something as basic and obvious as the parallel port I have to download a dodgy dll from the internet and call a native method that *directly* accesses 8088 isa bus hardware registers ( Read more... )
