True should not equal false.
Defining “TRUE” as “1″ and “FALSE” as “1″ results in weird bugs.
Could be implications for real world about the problem of believing that lies are true.. A little to deep for now.
avr-gcc stole a day of my life
February 28th, 2006
My avr-gcc compiler stole a day of my life at work by optimising out some critical line in the micro code I’ve been working on. Not happy. Should of known that O2 optimisation on the new compiler would ever so subtely break my code. Grrr.
Why do things fail 95% of the way through
February 25th, 2006
I’m annoyed I am trying to move files from my old hard disk drive to a new one.. I had a nice elegant way of doing it but it failed over 3 and half hours into the process. Grr.. Now I am doing it all a different way should only take 2 hours but I had to spend 20 minutes to find the right cables..
Webmin funnies
January 25th, 2006
If you are using webmin remotely make sure /etc/hosts has an entry for the IP address you are using. This is cause it tries to reverse dns resolution even when you disable it. Silly software.
I wonder…
December 15th, 2005
I wonder how many webpages I view in a day. Considering I have 6 browser windows open now with lots of tabs open, that means 30 sites are open right now. No wonder Firefox is using 191MB of RAM.

And behold I change one bit XBUF from 0 to 1 in the messages I have been sending my tuner cards and suddenly AM radio comes through nice and clearly.
Funny site

Did you know that the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second?
The speed of sound is only 341 meters/second.
Sound is so slow.

When I read about stuff like protothreads I struggle to understand it. I really am not that smart.
Silly Bits
July 22nd, 2005
Who would of thought that reading of the bit field map would get me in so much trouble?
Silly me was reading it as though it was ordered “B3B2B1B0A3A2A1A0″ when it was actually ordered “B0B1B2B3A0A1A2A3″. Since finding that I have finally been able to get my tuner to work.
I now have a working tuner card on my desk that I can change the station, and mute using my computers serial port.
Yay!
