I bought myself a 48k Sinclair Zx Spectrum+. I intend to take back up my Z80 machine language programming. I used to really love that method of coding. Forcing a 3.5mhz chip to move things at fast speeds around the screen.
It helped me get into the embedded systems job I held at Kanda Systems when the AVR microcontroller first came along, programming them with the Kanda/Atmel STK200 and STK300 boards. Developing firmware for the AVRIsp and using Delphi to create the ui for them. Happy times, miss that time, but also don’t miss the way I was burnt out there. Was maintaining about 40 projects in the end, mad for one developer.
Anyway, will see if I can find a way to show here how I will be progressing. In all my attempts to regain my joy of coding, building and making things, solving problems. It’s a life I do not want to give up.
