Post by thread:MetaURL page for PICList updated

Hi all, I've updated the MetaURL page for PICList. This page is generated by software that grabs http: links from the list and verifies that they're working. So if you need a URL that has been posted to the list it should be on this page! (There are 1826 supposedly working URLs listed as of last week's update, which took about 5 hours to run.) http://www.ee.calpoly.edu/~jcline/pic-links.htm Jonathan spam_OUTjclineTakeThisOuTee.calpoly.edu

I would like to suggest a different color scheme. The dark green on black gackground is pretty unreadable (that is how it appears on my IE 3 screen). How about a lighter background of brighter text.

Well, I personally dislike it, because it has published on another site pointers to my site, causing web searching robots to come a hunting. I did not desire this. My response will be to pull my site down, and avoid posting URL's on the PIClist but rather say "please write to me if you want to see it." I'm afraid I can't easily claim copyright on a URL. ;-) It was sort of assumed that someone, somewhere, would quote my URL eventually. Obligatory PIC query ... how do you declare file register data space in gpasm or mpasm? I've been using a painful series of EQU's which I have to update if I want to change the number of size of elements. For example; data1 equ 0x0f data2 equ 0x10 data3 equ 0x12 On my Z80 assembler, I could org 0x0f data1 defs 1 data2 defs 2 data3 defs 1 -- James Cameron (cameronKILLspamstl.dec.com) Digital Equipment Corporation (Australia) Pty.

Hi James There's an easy solution, I've made some cuts from a working program, should give you the general idea: James Cameron wrote: > > Obligatory PIC query ... how do you declare file register data space in > gpasm or mpasm? > James Cameron (.....cameronKILLspam.....stl.dec.com) > Digital Equipment Corporation (Australia) Pty.

I > did not desire this. This is the first I've had someone complain, and I understand your concern. (However-- almost all robots do obey the 'nofollow' metatag in a web page, so perhaps I should add that to prevent the "robot field-day".) But I have to ask-- why would you not want your page listed (I can't say I know what's on it myself)? > My response will be to pull my site down, and avoid posting URL's on the > PIClist but rather say "please write to me if you want to see it." I can 'blacklist' a URL at any time. I think that is a much more reasonable solution than taking down your site. Just let me know the URL and it will be removed from the page "forever". > I'm afraid I can't easily claim copyright on a URL. ;-) It was sort of > assumed that someone, somewhere, would quote my URL eventually. This is very true. I have had pages (not just at my home site) which have generated significant traffic just from mentioning the URL in e-mail once. (Then I gave up and put it in a search engine.)

Oh, Jonathan, keep doing it. It's good. I'm just a vocal person ... quite willing to complain at a moments notice. ;-) Jonathan wrote: > This is the first I've had someone complain, and I understand > your concern.

Because I intended that the server remain up for only a couple of weeks in order to provide the pages to the PIClist community only ... it's a process running in a UNIX shell, and has a very unusual URL. Recording it semi-permanently on another page and hence in the robot databases places an informal obligation on me to continue to provide the service. It creates disappointment for people who turn up later. It takes the URL out of the context that said it was "temporary." And for those who viewed my toy train project, I've finished the final burn of the PIC 12C509 and the code is up on the web site, to laugh at (by the experts) or to puzzle through (by the newbies like me.) http://ftp.digital.com.au:6153/tad/98-11245/ -- James Cameron (@spam@cameronKILLspamstl.dec.com) Digital Equipment Corporation (Australia) Pty.
