#104437 - I also use 666 as a "magic number" Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Ha ha ... good one.
Does everyone put ASCII copyright notices or similar in all of their code? I usually put a version #, part #, date, copyright notice and "all rights reserved" type comment. Easter eggs I guess for prying eyes (not that they'd likely see it after the lock bits are blown). At least it gives the person running the device programmer a chance to verify that they have loaded the correct hex file at burn time. One time back in the 80's I was looking at someone elses work (was viewing an EPROM for a synthesizer I was tinkering with) and saw a politcal rant in ASCII text. I was really blown away by that. It would be funny to find the original author. I'm sure very few people saw that. |
