Yeah SPI is not standardized, it's all over the place. USI, SPI, DSPI, QSPI, etc., 3-wire, 4-wire, the list goes on.

Damn, Mike you're giving me RS-232 flashbacks here...

For me it's a very short flashback: last run-in with RS-232 was two months ago and I had to relearn that RS-232 and UART look very much alike but are not the same.

Never heard of them until you mentioned the name and I googled ...

Cumbersome ?
Anagram of rum becomes

And you are up tomorrow.
Care to explain?
(It wasn't a complicated one, I've got a busy day since we have no hot water this morning and the immersion heater is well and truly buried so I posted an "archive" one).

At last a proper cryptic clue
Why haven't you got hot water ?

There's no mains gas on The Ynys, and we have no access to the rear of the house except through it so we can't use bottled gas either.
So we're all electric heating, with an immersion heater for the hot water. Turns out the thermostat is fried, so I'm fitting a replacement. Which takes way longer than it should because there is a water tank above the immersion tank and I could really use one extra inch of distance between them ...

In the summer we need no use any kind of heater (we have electric too) as the sun is enough, so until winter comes we do not know if everything is working or not, so I have to schedule a maintenance day at the end of the summer every year... The first time I did it, found out that the builders put the water tank on 3 blocks, just to elevate for the outgoing pipe (like 5cm/2inch)... I had to move it to a metal-tripod, which took me an extra day (including the building of the tripod), but now I can maintain it standing up

OG it sounds like you have an interesting home (This current problem, plus thinking about the stone walls you mentioned recently).

It's several hundred years old, built for iron miners from local materials. It has been "modernised" in the past, but since the original didn't even support running water or a separate kitchen the mods make it ... unique.
And a real pain to do anything major to, and that includes putting up a shelf ...

A REALLY old building in this part of Minnesota dates back to the latter third of the 1800's. No comparison.

Anyone see this: Heresy: Hare programming language an alternative to C • The Register?
Looks interesting, I wonder if it will gain any 'traction'.

"Life is a minestrone" - which I take to mean that it's full of different bits and you should try to savour them all. I think that's pretty neat, I like that analogy.
And if you don't mind, here's a quick plug for my little one-man business. Follow the link if you're interested in ripping your vinyl collection: www.alpinesoft.co.uk. Thanks.

OK, thanks.
There's a better link than the one I posted on his blog for anyone interested in learning more:

If I were going to write an O/S, I'd use C++. Sure, maybe much of an O/S doesn't need objects, templates, and exceptions, but it's good to have them at hand when using them is appropriate. I can see why going down those ratholes is something that the designer of a "close to the metal" language chose to avoid. But because of that, pass.

It seems to me that organizing the code by objects, even if they were static , which is essentially the equivalent of C code, would be a great help. And namespace s too!

Forgot about namespaces. Yes indeed.

I have a very vague and fuzzy memory that there were plans to rewrite some version of Unix in C++. This would probably have been back in the days of the old "cfront", and I think the effort collapsed under the additional weight of the technology as it was then. It would be interesting if that effort had succeeded.
Keep Calm and Carry On
