I'm still IDE hunting. I'm looking for something that is good for old microcontrollers.. Like I have this old Ford EEC-IV brain with an intel 8061 mpu. I can't even find a real datasheet for it. I like this old stuff and want to play with it, but none of my toys do it. If I was doing IOT stuff, ever...

I installed that. Takes a while to load but looks nice. I haven't played with it too much. Out of all of them the goofy Arduino IDE seems to load up the fastest, even though it's java hell.

spotify is morbidly obese. Most JS stuff is. I don't really like high level code for such reasons. I tried using stuff like tinycore and other small footprint linux distros. I REALLY wish Menuetos was useable. I look forward to seeing what RTOS brings for x86. Unfortunately I think IOT is going to e...

I have an old little HP laptop around here somewhere that has an atom. For most purposes it's totally useless. But for a terminal it's fine. Could probably use it for a media player. I think Spotify would kill it dead.

Well.. only 15 years off there. I don't miss my 20's really. It's been since my 20's that I'e had a decent job like the one I'm starting today :D So it wont be hard to afford that Jaguar Board now! *nudge nudge* It would be cool if that board wasn't so hard to get ahold of. We'd probably have more p...

I don't like typedef's either. One of the things that irritates me with the arduino ide. Which brings something I have been thinking about. What is everyone's ide of choice? I like Keil but it doesn't support a lot of stuff. Eclipse and atmel studio are cool, but I kinda don't like VS.

I wonder if an intel Atom would make a good MCU?

....How old do you think I am?

Would an endeavor like that call for external logic? Because, to me, that's fun.

Now, you see, I WOULD have done that. Because that's the way I am also. But not her. Lol. She's had the car for a long time, and has always really wanted to fully restore it. Before she saw the evil ways of men who work on cars for a living, she had fanatical ideas about the things they did, you kno...
