[12:54:30] <boru> Same here.
[12:54:39] <boru> It is almost 1pm. I haven't slept in a few days.
[12:54:45] <boru> I've got the black spots.
[12:54:48] <Bytram> nice sentiment, but doesn't have the same effect as an actual cup-o-joe
[12:54:58] <Bytram> urgh.
[12:55:35] <Bytram> if you've not slept in THAT long, a couple hours' sleep would make a huge difference
[12:55:48] <boru> Aye, what luxury that would be.
[12:56:07] <Bytram> if nothing else, when I am overtired, it's hard to produce anything solid. I end up making more work to fix the broken stuff I created!
[12:56:11] <boru> Work is extremely busy and requiring long hours at the moment.
[12:56:39] * Bytram wishes you strength, patience, productivity, and perseverance
[12:57:01] <boru> Heh, thanks. I wish me a good night's sleep tonight.
[12:57:16] * Bytram can't procrastinate any more... decides to go take a shower to get ready for work

[22:26:32] <boru> I spent some time porting really badly written Fortran to C today.
[22:26:42] <boru> Bloody academics.
[22:27:33] <mechanicjay> I'm currently trying to unwind a couple of nested tables into something resembling a sane layout.
[22:28:12] <boru> "Don't patch bad code, rewrite it" -- BWK/PJP.
[22:28:15] * chromas passes mechanicjay -funwind-tables
[22:31:49] <notsulla> mechanicjay: what did you decide on that "abandonware"?
[22:33:05] <mechanicjay> notsulla: nothing yet, that's an ongoing long-term project, still doing a ton of research.
[22:33:49] <mechanicjay> The shits been sleeping for almost 30 years, another couple months aint gonna change anything :)
[22:34:02] -!- bacterium has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[22:34:07] <boru> What is it?
[22:34:48] <mechanicjay> The operating system for the Alpha Syntauri Synthesizer
[22:35:00] <boru> Ah, interesting.
[22:35:29] <boru> What's the project? RE/decompilation?
[22:36:08] <mechanicjay> Yeah basically. I want to decompile it, bug fix and update it and re-release it for like all 10 people who still use one ;)
[22:36:33] <boru> What's the ISA?
[22:36:58] <mechanicjay> also release the various add-on pieces of software un-encumbered.
[22:37:45] <mechanicjay> The under pinnings are Apple II.
[22:38:43] <mechanicjay> It's basically a forgotten evolutionary step toward affordable musical production using commodity personal computers.
[22:39:02] <boru> So, 6502?
[22:39:09] <mechanicjay> Yeah
[22:39:26] <boru> Reasonably nice ISA to work with.
[22:39:45] <mechanicjay> It'd be nice to update the software to be 65C02 compatible. It won't run on the later machines with the updated process.
[22:40:12] <boru> Well, you won't need decompilation for that.
[22:40:22] <boru> Disassembly -> IR -> assembly.
[22:40:31] <boru> You'll just need a code generator for the latter.
[22:41:23] <boru> I posit decompilation would be more of a chore, if it's written in something else, originally, which I doubt.
[22:41:40] <mechanicjay> Modifying it to use extra memory banks, for full 128K (or more), currently limited to using 64k which SEVERLY limited how complex of a composition you can make with the sequencer.
[22:42:50] <mechanicjay> It's hard to say, I haven't fully gotten into it yet. The main program loops are in aseembly, but it's all driven through an AppleSoft Basic wrapper.
[22:43:18] <boru> If you've got binary, I'd be interested in taking a look.
[22:43:33] <boru> No obligation, naturaly.
[22:43:36] <boru> Naturally, even.
[22:44:13] <mechanicjay> NOTE: I would be learning 6502 assembly for this project.
[22:44:26] <mechanicjay> Which is fine, I've been wanting to for years, just haven't a good reason to.
[22:44:27] <boru> Piece of cake.
[22:45:19] <mechanicjay> That's what people tell me. I've heard it said, that 6502 assembly is actually less confusing than BASIC.
[22:45:54] <boru> It's a pretty simple instruction set. You'd write an assembler in an afternoon.
