So you guys may have noticed that a few members (including myself) have changed their avatars and signature to a pixel art walrus and the word CodeWalrus. As some have already figured out, these were hints at a new programming group started by Juju, aeTIos, DJ Omnimaga, me and pimath (although he withdrew temporarily and is currently not part of our staff).

I would like to clear things up regarding what CodeWalrus is and what it's not. We are a programming group, that is, a hangout for friends to drive projects together, a label to release our stuff under and a home for said projects to live once they are completed. We do not intend to start a community nor replace Omnimaga or Cemetech as some would fear. A schism in the community is the last thing we want, as we all love the calc programming community as it is currently, and it would make us sad if it was somehow destroyed. The members that were recruited during beta aren't drawn away as they are still as active on Omnimaga and Cemetech.

I also want to clear accusations of stealing code/software to build the site. While it's true that we use a similar forum setup to Omnimaga, all the software we use was not made by the Omnimaga team, except for OmnomIRC whose license allow us to use it freely (besides, Sorunome explicitely allowed us to use it) and the recent posts SMF mod for which we got explicit permission from cooliojazz. Our theme looks similar in layout because it's based on the same default SMF theme as Eeems used for Omni. The smileys are from DJ's backups from when he owned the site, so I don't think there should be a problem with that. If I forgot something here feel free to mention it and I'll give an explanation.

Lastly, we have nothing to do with the Dear Omnimaga petition from a few weeks ago. While we did sign it, the idea to start CodeWalrus dates all the way back from June and we bought the domain in late October.

An effort is undergoing to keep things friendly with the Omnimaga staff, even though it's kind of stalled for now.

Now that the drama material is taken care of, I'm pleased to announce that our group is opening for the public to see on new year, with a few secret projects to discover. These will be cross posted to other sites at the authors' discretion. We already recruited a few members who contributed their creations to the group.

I hope you guys understand that we are not attacking anyone.

Looking forward to January 1st, 2015, and remember the day the walrus started to fly !

So yeah, it's been a while guys. Hopefully I'm back for real now (I finally have 24/7 access to a computer with unlimited internet so I'm happy now ).

I probably missed a lot of stuff so if someone could least at least the major things for me it would be pretty cool.

Hmmm. I've been struggling with these all day long yesterday. I got them to work eventually but now I'm facing a problem now. Thing is, it seems to be zero and non zero at the same time.

n2DLib required to compile : https://github.com/n2DLib/n2DLib

I looked at the sleep() code and I'm doing exactly the same thing (that's what I did by reading only the datasheet too ).
So if you guys have an idea I'd be grateful.

I recently started to contribute to Knight OS, and we need more non dev contributiors to do testing. So I set up a nice buildbot which will make new builds every time changes are uploaded to Github.
It is hosted on Sorunome's server (this thing is starting to get really cranked with all Juju's stuff ).

There is a misconception that we nerds don't have any form of relationship with girls. So let's make fun of it. Rules are the same as the 9001 signs you're addicted to calcs and Omni.
No idea right now so I'll let someone else start the party up.

Edit : well, actually...
1 : You prefer to spend an afternoon playing Minecraft than going to the cinema w/ your gf (true story).
2 : If you had to choose between saving your gf and your calc, the choice would be pretty quick : the calc.

With all the VR stuff it's getting pretty awesome to play games. I just stumbled upon this : http://www.virtuix.com/
It's basically a VR controller that allows you to walk in your games. Combined with an Occulus Rift and a Wiimote, games should be epic.

This problem is now solved. If you want SPASM, just use the 7zip archive provided by Chickendude.
Just run make clean then make.
