Desert

This coming weekend my cousin insists that I see a desert, and he probably isn't referring to his front yard (which is the beach with an ocean view, though he calls it a lake). So for president's day I'm going to San Diego, which will be a fun change of scenery. At home I'm playing GuildWars, watching various movies (tonight the animatrix should arrive with Netflix, although I was actually hoping for 24 season 5), and slowly thinking up my next project. After getting the PIC_WEB to work, I could either expand it to allow external connections... Maybe make a small terminal. The problem with any PIC_WEB work is that I will have to install the C18 compiler, which has only 60 days of license, which I will have to use to finish the project. So that will probably happen after the desert.

Another option is to build a MIDI interface. That shouldn't be too hard. Writing good code for it might be harder. I'm actually looking for something that determines what I'm playing, and, after I play it enough times, will start repeating it at appropriate times. It would be funny to see if that could actually work. Not sure how you would tell it to stop, though.

Of course, my calculator is trying to get itself filled with more addresses too. I'm actually using it more as a clock, at the moment, because it is so nice at telling me the time after I take my watch off (which happens often in the evening as I take long baths... Which aren't listed above).

Opening sequence

After Schrödinger's cat and similar considerations of light as a particle or as a wave we come to this: the start of a new blog. After "Don't Read This" (http://horta.urmc.rochester.edu/~mhofman/novel/blogger.html), which might not exist for a long time, this will be the main source of obfuscation surrounding my life. Of course, the fact that you shouldn't read this hasn't changed, but this time, it will be translated into the world of video games. I hope you have fun.
