The author of the tweet will be notified, if they have notification-of-favourites enabled. People who are @mentioned in the tweet will also be notified, if they've enabled that. Other than that, people viewing your account can look at your favourites list. And anybody viewing a particular tweet can see that it's been favourited, and if they choose can see the list of who's favourited it.

I think that's about it.

That's enough of that for one evening. Debugging 8086 assembly language on an 80x24 character display is a bit too tortuous for a Sunday evening

I'm not sure I ever got on very well with codeview.

I suspect I used debug instead.

And IIRC I used something from HiSoft on the Einstein to debug Z80 code.

Ah, them were the days.

You could get on with your work with no whining purple monkeys to irritate you.

The esteemed customers must be delighted that semesterisation means they have exams as soon as they return from the Xmas break.

I'm eternally glad that it didn't exist in my dim & distant youth.

One of the reasons I liked CodeView was the aforementioned hijacking of the keyboard interrupt - CodeView was smart enough to realise that had happened, set it back to the original value when hitting a breakpoint, and restore the hijacking value when you went back to running code, and even for each instruction as you single-stepped. Every other debugger was completely useless in this respect, as when you hit a breakpoint the keyboard no longer worked so you were stuck

Oh, and the fact that it buffered the screen memory, so you could flip back and forth between your graphics and the text-based debugger screen using F4, which made it a lot easier to work out what was going on if your drawing routines were going haywire, which they usually were on a first attempt

Well, at long last this looks like the week I stick my notice in at PermieCo. Events over the last two or three weeks mean that I just can't see a future here any more. It's too much hassle for the permie pittance. Were it a contract I'd stay and invoice, but...

Sadly my return to ex-ClientCo has fallen through due to budget cuts, so I need to get thinking about setting up a new Ltd and back into the fray. At least I have three months of notice to work out a plan of attack.

Sorry to hear things have gone tits up, but these things happen

Now come into the light…
