Comment on What it takes to get a motorcycle licence in California by Martin Williams

I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the smartest guy at U of T, but otherwise that sounds about right

I’d pretty much forgotten about this blog… Maybe I’ll have something to post soon.

I’ve never given this a try, but I think it’s about time I do.

Dude I had no idea you had a blog. Especially for being the smartest guy at U of T. Its really hard to track you down. You are the Martin Williams that rode to school with his motorbike, wore a baseball hat and had a Dell laptop?

I recognize you by your bike pics. I believe I had you in all my classes (maybe a misfortune) because you prevented a lot of bell curves from taking place.

Keep writing.

Thanks a lot.
That solved my problem. apache was complaining “user xxx not found:” in /var/log/apache2/error.log
Now all works fine.

Comment on What does Atmel have against the number 10? by Powered by Anime » Blog Archive » The source of the number 13

[...] you Clark for the push – I had another look around and discovered that both 0×0D (13) and 0×0A (10) [...]

OK, on further investigation, it looks like the computer on the other end is actually adding a 0×0D before the 0×0A, so both get received, but the 0×0A gets pushed down one place in the buffer, and is thus never seen…

So now I need to find out how to stop Linux from adding that extra byte…

I had thought of that, but it doesn’t match what I’m seeing. The problem happens regardless of any text processing. Those large numbers, for instance, are blitted out pixel-by-pixel from an array I have stored in ROM…

Just a random guess, but 0×0A in ASCII land represents a Line Feed which is a special character. It is possible the display function calls handle the 0×0A uniquely as a Line Feed operation which would explain the Blank screen. Perhaps even morphing it into a Carriage Return(0×0D) + Line Feed(0×0A).
Nifty use of the Cell Phone displays from SparkFun.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

I have been struggling with this most of the morning and into the afternoon.
After looking through all the guides and Howtos I have seen no mention of what you have posted here, I sometimes wonder if the guys writing those docs have ever gotten the stuff to work or not.
