I am definitely in favor of people displaying their projects in their sig, and pictures (especially gifs) draw my attention to them a lot more than just a name and a link. Sigs should be all about promotion and representing the member. They also make the pages a lot more colorful, fun, and personal. Who wants a boring text only forum? (not mentioned in this topic, just worst case senario) Out of all the forums out there, I am here the most. Not necessarily because of the unique sigs, but they do help to set the atmosphere.

DJ: There's nothing wrong with your signature, I think it looks professional.

I like being able to see other peoples blogs, projects, and project updates, but I think 800x200 might be a little overdoing it! My new sig will be something like Darl181's. I really don't need the videos, though they were nice when the apps first came out (I hope).

DrDnar: Will do! I also received my oscope today, so I still want to go over the hardware stuff too. I noticed the HW2 int to be acting a little crazy at times and I want to get to the bottom of it. I will probably be video recording everything then transcribing because I tend to forget alot by the time I write it down.

DJ:Thanks for the info! I know nothing about a (the?) parser hook but I'll definitely look into it. It was only yesterday that I learned I couldn't call an app in a BASIC program (at least I don't think I can). I've used hooks on the 86 before, though I never bothered on the 84.

tr1p1ea: You were the one to inform me of it, what other 'ideas' have I missed? (I got on the 84c thing a few months late )

I've been updating IViewer recently. v1.1 is out now after I received a bug report by a user named Sean. v1.1 also removes the ram limitation, you can run the app even if you have 0 bytes of ram available. The next version will include an Easy Converter that will allow someone to just load an image and create an appvar without having to format the image or change any settings. The image will use a default 256 color palette based off the mac os palette. Then there will be the Developer Converter that will allow all settings to be manually adjusted. This can be used for viewing sprites/backgrounds/titles and can create an assembly file to be added straight into the program. I also plan to add huffman compression and I was thinking about including an IViewer assembly program that can be called by BASIC and other assembly programs to display title screens and images for them. I don't know if it would be fast enough to be used for sprites, but I'll create some speed test videos to help judge that. The N,X, and Y variables will be used to determine image and location. Does anyone have some requests or suggestions?

*Thanks to tr1p1ea, the Easy converter will now use his convention removing the need to even have a palette at all. His palette is better than both Windows and the Mac OS. Congratulations! tr1p1ea beats Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and his name will appear in the app somewhere (probably replacing my blog address)!

It was originally planned to be a little more advanced than just a speaker Now, I don't know how its going to turn out. I have to get rid of asynchronous serial because it's too hard/impossible to implement in BASIC programs. I might need that USB to serial converter to implement the clock pin. I have to do some more testing this weekend, believe me, that 'nice regulated 5v' supply is easier said than done I have to convince the calc that it's a peripheral and without having the clock speed for USB it might be a little tough. I may just have to change my initialization code or something but then I still have to figure out a way to control the D+ line or write a new communication protocol. I've added some code to Buttonz to create a demo video. Right now I'm fighting with the interrupts because they want to act all crazy when they see a halt instruction.

Got it. I would love to have my own scope that I could use whenever I wanted, I was ordering a DSO nano today.
