Executable code

Assembly language, compilers..............(just to annoy Logi)

Don't forget Basic:

10 print "Hello Logi"
20 goto 10
run

No!!!

Be careful, he might come back at us with some double entry ledgering!

I always enjoyed programming 80386's microprocessors in hex whilst doing my ONC during my apprenticeship many moons ago.




Cheers

Dave.

Ha! I started programming Intel 8008's via push switches in 1973!

 

[logiciel]

I did the line by line thing, and the hex code thing, quite successfully imho.
Shops used to have "computers" on display and I'd enter lines like those three and leave them running.
Anyone who wants a BS (don't ask!) and a P&L account, apply within.
You'll have to supply me with the quill pens though.

Me too although I preferred the Zilog Z80 that appeared a few years later.

 

[Stevenage Neil]

Me too ...

You're going to tell me next that you started programming, like I did, via ALGOL 60 and punched cards.........with a three day wait to receive your print out...........(1969)

Glad you included the 'a'.

Accountants are nothing if not accurate and specific in all they write.

[Monty Python 'Four Yorkshiremen' Mode ON] That's nothing ! [OFF]

When I was at college (in 1968) we used offline teletypes to prepare punched tapes, which were then sent (by internal post) to the 'computer centre'.

Then you had to wait a week to find out you'd put an extra 'space' character somewhere unacceptable !

I still have some of the tapes somewhere !

Is this an 'in joke' for the IT help desk?

Needs some context methinks

You can't beat some nice double entry. I love BS and P&L. Particularly when a company is making some money.

 

[logiciel]

Yes, they make good reading matter.

The context was a bit of fun in Satellite - I was about to close it but have been overtaken, or taken over.

Used to do a lot of RISC programming for custom built 12bit processors. Pretty cool back in the day. Always tickled me when e.g. two 12bit registers and an ALU came in nine socketed dual-in-line chips.

Get out !
