I will be home, working, programming...
:(

Ditto.

Why do you ":(" programming??
It is a wonderful exercise to strech the brain and enlighten the programmer.
I highly recommend it.

I think he said that because he won't be going on any vacations this year.

Yes! Programming is my idea of a good vacation.

I often program all day (even though I get little done:)

programming is your idea of a good vacation? I hope you're joking...do you have a life?

Yep! I have a life! It's like this!
Open TIGCC

Go back to programming
Open up Notepad
Make a javascript program
Run it.
Go back to ticalc.org
Complain that the archives aren't updated in over 2 weeks.
Go back to TIGCC again
Try to learn 65k assembly
It's too hard.
Program in C again
Blah Blah Blah
You get the point.

65k? wow, I can't learn that either. there is no documentation for that!
w00t!

I think I'll just stick with C then. I wonder where everybody else learned it.

No, I believe that it's 68k, not 65k...

funny.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it, but I really was too tired at the moment to care. :( *I'm tired*

Where did you learn to program in C? I have been learning z80 asm and it is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard. If I wasn't so impatient I could probably learn it to its entirety, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.

Where did you learn to program in C?

Well, z80 is for TI-73 82, 83, and 83+

C is for TI-89 and 92+

I learned at technoplaza.net

Download motorola's official documentation, print the integer instruction set summary, and there you have all the information you need to write a disassembler in TI-BASIC! That is one of my (pointless) projects that I put on hold while doing other things, namely writing more software.
On a similar note, I have a program (in C) that I wrote, and it gives me a privilege violation when it ends. Any help?

Privelage violation? Did you use any memory editing? Did you forget to re-enable any of the interrupts? How big is the code?

I am in Orange County, 1400 miles from home, but the code is about 3 pages long in C, I do not use any interrupts, the program does allocate and deallocate memory (seeing that it is a program to make a 'group' file on a ti89).
In addition, the 'privilege violation' only occurs before the program exits, but in the last 3 lines of code. That does help a little, except that I have commented out and rewritten these lines several times, and the same thing happens.
If iI was at home, I would be able to email you the code, but I am not at home. Thanks for your interest, though!
(I will be at home in about 2.25 weeks)

Okay

Wow! The article is getting really flooded!

*typing on 89*
[2nd] + [a-lock] + [l] + [i] + [f] + [e] + [alpha] + [(] + [)] =

life() + [ENTER]

*waits for .2 seconds*

ERROR: UNKNOWN FUNCTION
*sigh*

*typing on 89*
[APPS] [7] [3] [down] [down] [4] [9] [|] [÷] [ENTER] [down] [down] [F3] [2] [2nd] [1] [alpha] [alpha] [4] [9] [|] [­÷] [alpha] [2nd] [1] [2nd] [ESC] [alpha] [alpha] [4] [9] [|] [3] [alpha] [(] [)] [ENTER]

P.S. On your example, [2nd] + [alpha] doesn't equal a-lock. [alpha] + [alpha]

Doesn't work. Try it on your 89! you need to press [enter] twice the first time, and the last thing should be 'life' not 'lifs'.

Crud, you're right. :(

I'm going to go write a keycode recorder right now!
It will make tekst files like that!

It currently only records keypresses to applications, not var-link and the like.

Much C you write, else fail you I will!
-Yoda

Using [2nd] + [alpha] (or [a-lock]) always engages alpha lock on my 89. Unless someone's somehow messed with it... You get the general idea, don't you?

Yeah, I knew what you meant. :)

Crap, you're right! I just tried it and [2nd] + [alpha] = [a-lock] Never knew that... I always used [alpha]+[alpha]

I do too because it's faster. I rarely use [2nd]+[alpha].

I didn't even know that [2nd]+[alpha] = [a-lock] I've always used alpha+alpha. I can type with my eyes closed/in the dark/while talking to someone.. I'm such a geek! :)

I JUST SAW MIB2! w00t!

I've always used [2nd], [DIAMOND], [SHIFT] and [alpha] as I use the SHIFT key on my computer.

I type on my TI-89 a lot every day, sometimes just in plain text, so I get a lot of practice, but still I always seem to hit the wrong key of [2nd] [alpha] [diamond] and [shift]. w00t!

w00000t!
SKREEEEEE!
I GOT SOURE CODE TO 50 OF THE WORLDS MOST FAMOUS COMPUTER VIRUSES
I CAN MODIFY SO THEY BE UDETECTABLE BY ANTI-VIRUS
w0000000000000000t!
SKRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!

You serious? That's pretty bad. Which viruses are they? Where did you get the source code? What if you accidentally run the script on yourself? Am I asking too many questions?

Is there such thing as too many questions? Why would you want to make a virus? Don't you think that you'll get arrested for transmitting viruses? Why do you know so much about viruses? Did you get the source code from yougotavirus? Have I asked more questions than no_one_? Do you want me to stop? Is there such thing as too many questions?...

serious? yes
source code? undisclosed hacking group
all stuff is on a seperate machine that is not connected to the internet
too many questions? not yet

Goody! So, you're not going to attack any of our computers with it? :)

I seriously hope that's not some sort of code.

Type it ito an asm compiler and run it! lol

Me too- I will be at home, working on a program- FIRETRACK for the 83+ (yes, the classic BBC game).
So far I have a smooth-scrolling background, your ship that you can move around, and one wave of enemies that scroll past.
I am currently on a work experience placement, so work will resume on it next week.
Stay tuned for more...

AAAAHHHHH!!!! NOOOOOO!!!! THEY FINALLY UPLOADED THE ARCHIVES AND MY FILES STILL HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH!!! AAAAHHH!!!!! I GOT A BUNCH MORE HERE ON MY HARD DRIVE, AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR THESE ONES TO GO THROUGH! I'VE BEEN WAITING OVER 3 WEEKS FOR PRGMBAD89 (Ported version of Chickendude's popular game)!!!!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!

Aaaaaargh!
Damn these collision detection routines!
Firetrack is on its way...
*Cuss*

THEY DID IT AGAIN! AAAAHHHH!!!!! THEY UPLOADED MORE FILES AND IGNORED MINE! I think they're doing this because no one likes me (except no_one)

no_one_2000_ is sad. This is the 3rd (maybe 4th) time they uploaded files and LEFT OUT MINE!

Try resubmitting! This happened to me once and I found that they must have lost my files because if you upload something that's already in the queue then it will give you an error message.

Yeah, but they're in my pending queue, so it looks like they're there.

I uploaded about 10 more files. Let's see if they get through. :)

Don't leave them on your 'ard drive... Dump 'em in! That makes sure 'ey'll be processed ASAP!

ASAP for my files = NEVER

I've been waiting over 4 months. I think I will try the above suggestion (re-upload them), and if all else fails, there's always e-mail.. *sigh*

I know this is slightly off topic, but we should all say w00t! for ticalc.org, because they uploaded a lot of archives today. YAY! w00t! :)

w00t for ticalc.org!

Hey, I'm making a TI-89 BASIC Organnizer Program that stores Reminders, Schedules, Homework for different Classes, and Phone Numbers. It's been pretty rough, since I've typed it all from hand on the calculator. I also am putting some finishing touches (and testing) on my secret game (lol), and my new version of Javascript Sprite Creater is in the pending queue, so look out for some c00l! programs!

I just finished making a mini-suite of two programs that will indent and unindent programs copied into text files. It does just about everything that one would expect it to, and it is somewhat slow (which is to be expected from an interpreted language on a 12mhz processor) but versatile. I shall upload it when I get a chance.
In addition, I (re)made the program that I have that I wrote to enlarge images and _eliminate_ the jagged edges! Fun!

Did you upload the program here yet?

More info:
It works on text files (programs copied into them)
it puts the info on the clipborad, because that was all I had, but it could be _easily_ changed to type it directly or create a file, if I had the proper tools.
It is done!!!
I will upload it in a maximum of 2.5 weeks.
w00t!

HELP! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!
I AM USING WINDOWS 98. MY STUPID SISTER OPENED NETSCAPE AND CHANGED IT SO THAT ALL THE INTERNET SHORTCUTS OPEN WITH NETSCAPE! I WANT TO CHANGE IT BACK SO IT WORKS WITH INTERNET EXPLORER. I TRIED EVERYTHING AND NOTHING WORKS. PPPPLLLLEEEEAAAASSEEEE HHHHEEEELLLLLPPPP MEEEEEE!!!! I HATE MY STUPID SISTER SHE IS ALWAYS RUINING EVERYTHING SO PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE E-MAIL ME!!!!!!!! YOU ALL KNOW MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS no_one_20000@yahoo.com SO PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK-you win.
-Go into any folder, and select Tools>>Folder Options.
-Then go to the File Types tab.
-Now select the type: HTML, and click Change
-Change it so it opens with Internet Explorer
This usually works.
I think.

Okay, I bet no one actually reads this big article anymore, because of it's huge size (except no_one).
But, anyway I released my first version of PICROSS 89. I noticed that all the picross games were only for the 82, 83, 83+, 85, and 86, so I decided to make my own for the 89. I had to totally re-write the code, so the game is different in plenty of ways from the other versions, but it's still really fun. Try it out and tell me what you think. This is it's first release, so if there are any bugs, then please tell me. It's really a fun game, and it has 52 levles to keep you busy with. You can download it on my URL link. I spent over a month writing this. :)
