BTW there is no issue with the pages, the one I looked at, "the featured C# project" was about the parametera of a dialog.... Which was a little underwhelming.
Until I realised, it just is his blog. That single page was not a project but a blog post in an ongoing serie on his blog. Fair enough.
Why does it have to take all the featured C# projects slots on the featured C# project page though?
That's a CP issue, that I mention in Bugs and Suggestion forums afterwards.
EDIT
Turns out it was a bug, as expected. And should now be fixed.

,,, but at least I got something done.
@glennPattonWork
I took a step back and put together the schematic for a very primitive computer to control the circuits on the breadboard. It's just the processor, 32k EEPROM, 32k RAM, a register to demultiplex the address lines and a MAX232 (which is driven directly by the processor) as a slow serial port.
I have begun to write the software to put into that ROM. Over the serial port it can communicate with a PC. This can be used both for terminal emulation and to upload test programs.
I have configured the emulator for the old Elf to represent both the prototype and the not yet existing new Elf and started on the software[^]
I have taken the old bit banged serial routines and tuned them from 300 baud to 1200 baud. More is not possible at the clock frequency of the old Elf. At full speed the processor I am going to use has reached 4800 baud in other computers and 9600 baud may very well be possible. At the 'normal' clock frequency my timing values were exactly as calculated, at higher speeds I could not find any working values. Perhaps it's the emulator. Anyway, I think I will use EEPROMs, just in case I must experiment a little with the values. Erasing and reprogramming EPROMs would be a test of my patience.
So, the next steps will be to build the primitive prototyping computer, prepare the ROM and then start prototyping on the breadboard.
And I have a name!
The old computer was called an Elf. Since you guys love puns so much, I'm going to call it Zwölf[^]. If you don't understand, just ask Griff. I think he will get it.

OK, sounds good, my German is very poor but it means 12? if it was me I would go for a name like Legolas...but thats just me...

Elf means eleven, so a new Elf is a Zwölf. Besides that, while watching the movie, we already called Legolas a 'Zwölf', just because he's far better than a normal elf.
I also plan to steal this wallpaper[^] for Zwölf's boot screen. Does that look like a Legolas to you?

Okay, I did say my German was spotty...

I can only guess how hard it must be to learn it for someone who has English as a mother language. The grammar, the pronounciation... It's sometimes hard to believe the languages are actually related.

Well it's a bit odd in places (the umlat & the beta) but it's not too bad, a friend is trying to learn Japanese, now that is fun!

I might have been offline for a few more days, but since did when CodeProject start to have Projects as well? And what exactly is needed in them?

I assume you refer to "17 items need approval" where 15 of them are Projects...
Keen on the answer also

I have already pointed it out in B&S
They have no other option than approve in the report menu. Some of them missing message boards and some of them having problems with images.

I just came across one of such in moderation queue and out of curiosity went ahead to the entry/submit page i.e, Submit a new Article[^]
The drop-down now has a new item called Project.
A brief description on selecting it says:
What is a Project?
A Project is a code repository imported from a service such as GitHub, BitBucket or Visual Studio online. The repository must have a README file for it to be considered for import and must adhere to the usual editorial guidelines for articles.

I am so old school that I had my first serious programming education (I had some less serious before that...), it was in Pascal. For those who do not know: Pascal allows arbitrary index limts - an array may run from indexes 1900 to 2030, if that suits the task at hand. The index may also be of an arbitrary type, such as a Season enumeration with values spring, summer, fall, winter. So a Season-indexed array has four elements. And enumeration types are NOT named integer values; you cannot index that Season-indexed value with neither 0-3 nor 1-4 integers.
So when C came onto the scene, requiring all arrays to be indexed from 0, and integer indexes only, we shook our heads in disbelief. You cannot be serious??? Hello, we are in the late 1970s!
But we lost. C won, and array handling degenerated to 1950s style, in practically all algorithmic languages following C. Even in C# you have to cast a season to an int to use it as an index, and the year-indexed array, you, the programmer, must explicitly subtract the base year whenever indexing, to bring the index value down to zero based. Good grief! How many extra compiler code lines would it require, to make the compiler do that subtraction? After all: What have we got compilers for?
I my student days, we were joking: To a real programmer, 256 is a round number. But to a C programmer, 255 is even rounder, because he is zero based. ... Nowadays, base zero is all programmers know of, so they are not getting the joke.

I did some Pascal back in the day, and had forgotten about that feature. However I was soon seduced by the beauty of C.
