    Cruel thing about drought is some rain brings hope which vanishes along with the water into the dry earth. Dry as a bone here again after a whole day of rain last week :(

    Really?  Wow, I thought you got a lot of rain, too.  Are you sure Australia isn't made of a giant sponge?

    Tropics and far north get all the rain  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tully,_Queensland

    Arid where we are, we rely on dams to store rain when it comes, pipelines and desalination when it doesn't

    Assembly language is for master programmers only, as you can easily write totally unintellagble code with zero effort.  The only assembly in this system is chip initialization code and TI provided that.  It's excellently written.

     

    Heh  - cut my teeth on IBM mainframe MVS Assembler many many moons ago.. in Assembler one can screw things up much faster and with far less code that in anything else.. ask me how I know.. 

    Heh, how do you know? devil

    I've coded x86 assembly, ARM assembly, MIPS assembly, 6502, 68000, MPS430.. brain hurts now.. will apply cold beer soon!

     

    6502?  I think that's what they used on the Commodore 64.

    Dana

     

    car 64 where are yoooo 

    ..thought that was Car 54?

     

    Grandpa and Herman  

    That was not Grandpa Munster.  it was only Herman (Fred Gwynn).  Grandpa was Al Lewis.

    Dana

    ...not as Officer Toody, but, as I mentioned, he played a different character in the series named Officer Leo Schnauser..

    another too hot semi-lifeless day.  >.< need buppies hugs but too hot for them to be outside.

    was it really in the negatives degrees a few months ago?

    been hearing the Munsters theme music in my head half the night.  groovy 60s music. Spot lived under the staircase.

     RPG IV? Bah.. Now't like the real thing RPG II on an AS/400  -  man went to the moon using sliderules, computers running at kilohertz, and RPG I. Man hasn't been back  to the moon since RPG IV was created - says something..

    I had mowed the front on Friday and was going to finish up in the back today.  I brought my mom to surgery very early.  When I was dropping her off back home, it was a little after 10:00 am and it was already 90F!  I decided against it.  blush

    I actually had three semesters of COBOL when I was studying for my AS in computer science.  For my final, I made a program that even had ASCII graphics, boxes and drop shadows and all.  Unfortunately, though complete and probably a business app worthy, it wouldn't run on the student version we had on the PC.  My professor took it, printed it out, and studied it...and gave me an A+.  Never used COBOL on a job once.  I started right out with FoxPro for DOS, did a job for a lawyer's office doing some reports, and a complete rewrite of an app that was running a collection agency.   The latter was such a mess.  The previous programmers were terrible!  They broke all the rules of good design.  Let's just say this...when you look up a client and see the last payment he made is ten or twelve years in the future, it's bad.  Future dates allowed, blank dates allowed, no validation on anything!  I was working contract.  After a good long look at it, I told my boss that it would be best to do a complete rewrite.  After looking at it, he agreed.

    I suspect you're thinking of RPG II.  Comparing RPG II to RPG IV is like comparing a Trabant to a Ferrari.  There's very little  resemblance between the two.

    ASCII graphics...  Ah!  I built a satellite phone & TV communication channel control system using ASCII graphics on an early DEC b/w character only monitor.  Would have been early 80s.  I can't remember the model number of the monitor but it was the default standard model that many later monitors that other manufacturers would emulate.  Ah, brain is coming into focus... It was a DEC VT-100 or or something like that.

    The ASCII graphics permitted me to create schematics diagrams of how the channels were routed and grouped to create various width channel bandwidth allocations based on purchased time slots.

    I don't recall any mention that Indy was afraid of snakes in Raiders until the Well of Souls is opened. Faulty memory though,  so I could be wrong. smiley
