Experimented with chicken thighs, harissa, yoghurt, garlic and cumin.

25 mins in the oven and I think the experiment worked quite well.

Morning all.



Here we is again again.

Discovered yet another broken lavatory seat in trap one this morning.

I'd love to know wtf they do to break them so regularly.

I suspect it's standing on the damn thing to take a dump.

By request:

Just looked at some code created by an esteemed customer, who's currently working on his 3rd year project.

Seems not to realise that

STATUS            ;supposed address of status reg, actually 0x00

is not the same as

STATUS equ 0x03 ;address of status register

The comments above, naturally enough, are mine.



This has to be in by May.



Despite these bijou problemettes with the code, he's got it writing in some obscure way to an LCD.

It sort of works as long as Zeity applies his claw in a specific place on the interface.



Though it must be said that I don't spell "Moisture" quite the way it's displayed.

Tell me about it.

Esteemed customer has just left & not in a good move.

I have no idea what his software is doing & neither has he.

Ho hum.

The pile it high & debug forever approach to software "engineering".

On closer inspection (via a printout, how quaint), there seems to be the most convoluted wait procedure I've ever seen.

I suspect it uses recursion* but it's so complex that it's got I baffled.


*Tricky with a maximum stack of 8.

Aha!

Google being one's friend:

Aha!

'Tis the output of a PIC Basic** compiler.

This explains much of the incomprehensability of it.

It would also help if he'd got the bit number of the Carry flag in the status register correct.

It's not the same bit as the Zero flag.

Stone me, what a pile of tulipe.

Hmm, lovely day, looks like a trip across London Bridge to Borough market is in order.
