23:22.50venduhello :)
23:22.58delusionalYO!
23:23.04venduyo delusional :)
23:23.08venduhow's it going?
23:23.17delusionalPretty good actually.
23:23.29vendu:)
23:23.32vendusame thing here
23:23.33delusionalA little tired from overwork, but thats a good thing
23:23.38vendu:P
23:23.47vendui'm pondering some stuff
23:23.59vendui am, it looks like this time for real, writing a book on low-level programming :)
23:24.28venducurrently, it has the most exhaustive take i've seen on numeric presentation (i.e. how computer represent [integral] values) :)
23:24.41vendustuff on c's stack-based run model
23:24.42venduand so on
23:25.02vendua bit on code optimisation (how to access memory etc.) and probably quite a bit more on this topic later :)
23:25.18delusionalI made an applescript once, and it worked on the second try
23:26.46OoOberLeetI havent done anyserious programming since the early 80's
23:27.03venduhehee
23:27.06vendui have
23:27.08vendua little bit
23:27.09vendu:P
23:27.58venduwell
23:28.05OoOberLeetbut way back when....  I used Fortran, Cobol... and near the end I was actually using machine language.
23:28.13OoOberLeethow's that for low-level
23:28.24vendui wanna write stuff, need a bit of money, and seriously haven't seen most of this covered in a single document (some of this stuff is seriously hard to find) :)
23:28.35venduhehe
23:28.43OoOberLeetyou can make a lot in publishing
23:28.49vendui mostly use c with occasional (mostly inline) assembly
23:29.25vendulow-level? debugging your own boot-loader by looking at disassembly output and figuring out where it goes from symbol tables? :P
23:29.29venduqualify? =)
23:29.46venduwell
23:29.52vendumoney would always be welcome
23:29.56OoOberLeetfersure
23:30.09vendubut truth to be told, if i can't find a publisher i'm probably gonna make it free :)
23:30.23venduin fact, i'd like to make (at least some versions) of digital copies free anyway :)
23:30.32vendubut i'll see about a lot of stuff later
23:30.39OoOberLeetdont ask me to proofread
23:30.42venduneed to figure out good structure for the book and write most of it first :)
23:30.53venduhehe :)
23:31.08OoOberLeetthat would definitely help.
23:33.21delusionalhere's what i've been pondering lately.   http://www.correlatedmagnetics.com/
23:34.09delusionalthe guy is actually able to "print" many  positive and negative poles onto a single magnet
23:34.14vendusounds like out of my league from the url alone :)
23:34.23venduah
23:34.25vendu:P
23:34.48delusionalI'm gonna use it to create an over-unity generator
23:34.57delusionalwhat do I have to lose?
23:35.12delusionali have about as much chance as anybody else.
23:35.58vendunot really exactly sure what you're talking about, but hmm... cool :P
23:36.35vendudire straits - brothers in arms
23:36.35vendu:)
23:37.53delusionalan over unity generator is one of those free energy schemes
23:38.02vendu=)
23:38.42delusionalso my chance of success is .00000000000000001 percent
23:38.46vendu:)
23:39.58delusionalbut seriously, i ordered some magnets and am going to experiment a little....  If nothing else my nephew will get a nice project for his science project.
23:47.41vendu:)
