I find this silly.

Syntax coloring makes code more read-able.
You need to be able to read code before you can even understand the content, and programming languages don't usually read like natural languages, but very differently - your failed attempt at reduction ad absurdum using the exmaple of a fictional, natural language text shows that you don't understand this.
You should observe it in yourself, if you are aware enough of such things, that your brain kind of switches operational modes from reading comments in your source files, and then understanding actual code, from one second to another.
Lots of same-colored text forces you to read source code like natural languages, which makes it quite tiresome - at least compared to how I read source code and probably many others, which works much quicker than text reading, maybe your brain works differently.

Also, through different coloring, I need to type less spaces ^^
Which is probably bad should a color blind person ever read my source code, but then he could engange some auto format features of which there are plenty in many IDEs.

Your using of a pretty weird / bad coloring scheme (I'm not referring to the number of colors used, I guess I use no less) here gives an impression of dishonesty, but maybe that was just exaggeration for fun.

With horror I remember the days of monochrome IDEs in MSDOS. Yuck.

I am a teacher and would absolutely love to have this written out in notation to teach to my students. I think it would be a fun piece for them to learn. Is there a place where you have this posted or for sale?

Excellent mod. The light bulb and photoresistor arrangement in your expression pedal was extremely common on expensive analog audio equipment. At the time it was the only way to provide an inexpensive noise-free variable resistor. I have a cache of salvaged dials and sliders and other devices like that which work that way. These were used on studio mixers, for example. The same arrangement of bulb+photoresistor is used to provide electrical decoupling of audio gear. The inputs on high end mixers would often be a 1V light bulb attached via a metal tube to a photoresistor. Very clever and very effective.

FWIW, there are *no* initial 4K cycles to expire. The initial delay (after power up) is specific to propeller chip and chosen cog simply because the frame counter isn't reset. Subsequent delays are based on what was in the frame counter when the cog is stopped or the video h/w is switched off manually. Note that the frame counter keeps it's state across cogstop and even short periods of power loss.

here is an interesting port of this code to arduino,
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1265488118
tested it and seems to work.

Excellent code linus :)

this article is very good .
now i have a question.
linux use /dev/console in booting before the init called . so i write a progrm that run after kernel booted and pass my progrm with option init in boot parameter and bypass init program so the first program that run is my program.
this is my question : how i correct my program to resive signels from /dev/consoole?

Hello, I stumbled upon your sight after seeing it referenced in a footnote to the wikipedia article on Fratres by Arvo Pärt. Although I cannot read Swedish your site seems very interesting, and well I guess my main point is this photo is beautiful! Where was it taken if you don't mind me asking?

Hello! I do have a draft version in digital form. I'll try to find the time to add the final touches (currently in pencil) and post the complete score here.

Very interesting! For the purpose of synchronisation it doesn't matter, as we only have to cover the worst case, which is still 0 (4096). But it's a neat little side effect that could be exploited for e.g. copy protection if one were so inclined.

Hi!

This is the view from our bedroom window in the north-eastern part of Lund, Sweden. In the distance you can see the SonyEricsson head quarters and a residential area called Brunnshög.

Linus,

Your music in this was really good and was wondering if you can make this with out the video output but with an impressive sound output only and that other people can make and preform music on it.

Thanks for all the good work,and do you have Ubuntu Linux like me?

Enhorabuena amigo, por tu trabajo. Es impresionante y me ha gustado.
Yo tengo un pequeño trabajo sobre cómo hice mi sintetizador, lo he descrito en este enlace:

http://www.hispavila.com/3ds/tutores/musica01.html

Sigue así, en tu propósito y gracias.
[Congratulations friend, for your work. It's awesome and I liked it.
I have a little work on how I made my synthesizer, I have described in this link:

http://www.hispavila.com/3ds/tutores/musica01.html

Keep it up, and thanks for your purpose.]

I found an organ donor as well.

Linus, is it possible you could release the source? I believe I can piece together the hardware fairly easily, but for the coding I'm just at a loss.

Amazing! It sounds exactly like AY8910/12 chip in famous ZX Spectrum.
