Just Recognition

[manie]

I simply want to say THANKS to a few names on the forum. In various ways they have assisted me in understanding

1 Hardware used (various)
2 Software (Basic)
3 Bits/Bytes/Words (BCD/ASCII etc)
4 Memory and Registers etc.

In no way a total and complete list of help received, but MUCH appreciated guidance when at times one feels lost.... at 63, I'm "back to school" and enjoying lessons from these teachers. Your selfless sacrifice of time is appreciated guys/gals.

BeanniBots, Westaust55, Hippy, Dippy, Manuka, AndrewCowan, Dr.Acula, BCJkiwi, JeremyLeach, Kevrus, Ibenson, Technical

Anyone left out, I still value your input.

Registers/BCD/software/63 = you're ahead of me on all counts! Happy to help, although I'm sure Dippy will join me in saying "thirsty work". Naturally we eagerly await your wireless chook house results.

Thought: AS this forum largely works on a "social contract" basis, feel free to give back YOUR insights to the next batch of newbies. Stan in NZ

 

[Dippy]

Thirsty work.

Yeah, your turn to help others soon Manie
We're all too old to keep going much longer....

We're all too old to keep going much longer....

Yep, we need fresh young blood to keep it going.

The reward is in seeing others succeed.

I'm of British stock,so will translate Dippy's & BB's modest replies as actually meaning " ta-another pint & bag of crisps would go down a treat".

I mentioned age ? But (again...), as per the song:

"you make me feel sooooooo YOUNG !"

 

[Dippy]

Blimey!
Is this the PICAXE Forum or the X factor?

 

[moxhamj]

If it helps getting another picaxe project working then any help given is most worthwhile. This could turn into some sort of drinking game. Every time someone says "thanks for the help" you have to down tools and head off to the pub. Or maybe even leave out the "thanks for the help" bit and just go to the pub anyway...

 

[kevrus]

hic....I second what the good Dr says. How about inc b0 every time one downs a pint...first to 255 wins

 

[Andrew Cowan]

first to 256 wins...

A

 

[Dippy]

First to finish his project wins Andrew.

 

[BeanieBots]

While Andrew waits for b0=256, I'm off down the pub.
Never mind Andrew, we'll come and rescue you in 2 years time and bring you a pint.

 

[kevrus]

first to 256 wins...

I was counting 0 as 1...perhaps i've drunk too much already

 

[manie]

Well if thats what ONE "thanks" note brings.................... then
THANKS
THANKS
THANKS
and Thanks^10 !!!!!!!!!
Jolly gjoodt doun bi the p(hic)ub.......

 

[BeanieBots]

It's just that "thanks" are rather novel here and we want to draw out the enjoyment more

 

[manie]

Well in sincerity, what a pleasure ! Most South Africans are rather well mannered (I think.....)
