Don't worry, you had no reputation to start with.

Well nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose!

I'll be very interested to go through it once you get it straitened out as I use Serial comm. a lot with my embedded stuff.
Nice start!

Still messing trying to get the code blocks sorted and get the demo project uploaded but am getting odd errors...
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah the hamsters getting grouchy every now and agin.
|
|
|
|

It is a nice start, and I'll surely take a look at it once everything is straightened out - It's an interesting topic.

Ahh nuts it looks as if I am being grabbed to do something else and why does the web upload not letting me alter things...

Assuming your not joking, just add the zip file (you can drag & drop it on the little square next to the article window.) The submission wizard detects it as a zip and checkbox will appear which you can then check to indicate that you want to use that zip file as the source download, and it'll automatically add the HTML into your article at the top.
Hope that helps!

Umm that's what I though but when I do I get:
"Unexpected error during upload. One or more files may not have been uploaded"
|
|

|

It looks like you are trying to attach a zip file which is greater than 10 MB Size.

Hmmm, I have got a version attached I am not really sure its correct but I think I have it now on the approved release...Don't think its working I will have to have another look!

Yes, you now have two downloads - I'd edit the text for the "no-exe" one to simply say, "Download Source - No Exe" to make it clear to the reader, then you should be good!

My job is in peril of being out-sourced to an off-shore contractor (I'll let you make any assumptions you'd like about what that means).
I'm considering a change in career path because American companies don't want to spend the money for American programmers. They'd rather hire off-shore personnel because they don't have to pay for health care, or unemployment taxes, or any other number of back-flips they're forced to perform by US government.
It's getting harder and harder to be a citizen-developer in this country...

That's accountants for you. Anything to save a dollar a unit...regardless of the cost in the long term.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Or live like an outcast. Since the "cost of living" out there is different, the bean counters may just "adjust" your salaray to match. It's happened.

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear it.

Yeah - accountants run companies - and when faced with £x to outsource and £x+y for in house its an 'easy' decision.
I've also thought about what else I would do, but so far am at a loss to come up with a job that I can get as much enjoyment out of - for a similar wage.
I think the best thing is getting into areas where the software can't be outsourced due to National Security or patent issues for example...

I'm more likely to refuse to work for the federal government.

The U.S. government hired a Candanian company to put together a large part of Healthcare.gov. Even they don't reliably hire citizens anymore.

Correction... the U.S. government hired an American branch of a Canadian based company. If you search back in the Lounge, you will see that there are strict requirements placed on personnel at these entities in regards to whom they are allowed to communicate with.

I'm sorry to hear that. What you need is a security clearance and a job that requires it.

I'd even generalize that to "...harder to be a citizen-decent-wage-earner in this country."
