2024-02-29 - Oh dear
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh dear, it is already almost march again. And i haven't even made
a phlog post this whole year. Again, time is moving too fast for me
to be able to keep track of it. Work takes a lot of time and
attention, and at home i am currently distracted by all kinds of
things.
Currently i'm still learning to do some programming on the NES, and
i can tell that i am absolutely feeling as a complete newbie in
programming for the 6502. But that is not a problem at all...
Actually this is the exact reason why i am playing with the NES, so
that i can do some low level programming and really have to think
about the basics.
Luckily today i finally received an old copy of the famous book by
Rodnay Zaks; "Programming the 6502". I already had this book in PDF
form, but i really like having a physical copy of it, as i much
prefer reading via a physical book.
Hopefully with some practice, at some point i will become a lot
less clumsy when programming 6502 assembly. The physical book is a
bit smaller than i expected, and i'm quite happy with that, as it
makes it much easier to take with me for reading outside, when the
weather starts to become a bit better hopefully in a few months.
I'm looking forward to that!
At idle moments i'm watching the series "Heroes", which i quite
enjoy. In the past i've seen fragments of it, but i encountered a
dvd box set of the 2nd and 4th season a while ago in the second
hand shop. Last week i've found a 1st season box in another 2nd
hand shop, so i now started watching the series. I'm hoping to find
a copy of the 3rd season at some point, so i can watch the whole
series. (Assuming it only has four seasons?)...
