New member introductions: Say hello here!

^this. It's just written in a semi-english way to make it understandable, with label names that only appears in the source code.

u/Yuki September 09, 2017, 07:52:21 PM

Assembly code is pretty much the closest we have to binary machine code, each keyword translates almost directly to machine code, plus a few preprocessor stuff to help you a bit, e.g. label names translating to whatever address the label is on.

We all know that I can write assembler which is great

In fact mateo's iq is only 140 and so sorus as well

My iq is unspecified (150-190) soru does science

Hello! Long-time lurker, first time poster. I was a long-time lurker in the Omnimaga days too, under the guises of JincS & VBSLong before that. And Calc Haven before that. Yep.

Heya and welcome back

. While a lot of us don't do calculator stuff anymore, we still hang out on a regular basis to chat about various related things.

I hope that you enjoy your stay.

I am clearly not part of the majority

u/Dream of Omnimaga September 16, 2017, 12:45:05 PM

True. It's mainly those who have been around for a long while that moved on to different projects and hobbies overall.

u/p2 September 22, 2017, 09:07:06 AM

I guess most of us were similar:
We started programming on calculators, mostly the 83+/84+ family, then learned xLib, later axe or ASM, and finally moved to PCs, and now we're fully fledged software devs still sticking to the forum where we grew up <3
But I think that's actually not a bad thing as new members still get a lot og´f help in calculator problems, while we also get more and more help for other stuff like C# or Java ^^

u/Dream of Omnimaga September 26, 2017, 03:10:28 PM

Yeah true, plus those who used to do calc stuff can help new users sometimes, unless they forgot most stuff (sometimes, it all comes back when you try calc programming again, though).

Hey guys! I've been on Codewalr.us for a little bit, but I don't think I have said hello.

u/Yuki September 27, 2017, 11:35:30 PM

Well, hello there.

u/Leviset September 28, 2017, 12:36:02 PM

Hi I'm a very long in the tooth IT guy and Session Guitarist, now retired. I started in IT in 1979 writing small business applications on an HP-97 ending up in charge of a worldwide network running on servers and mainframes. A few years ago I came across the HPCC after buying a time capsule unused HP-41CX plus printer and card reader. Since then I've concentrated on programming and repairing vintage programmable calculators and recently I was sent a free TI-59 from Israel that had belonged to a scientist who had worked at Los Alamos. I quickly repaired the battery pack and it's the first 59 that the card reader is working.
In the last 2 weeks I've repaired a Commodore PR 100 (new battery pack - the internal 3 AAA pack for a Tomy baby monitor is ideal) although I can't find a printed manual or 6v DC ADAPTOR. I've also bought another time capsule, an unused Sharp PC-1251 pocket compute with its CE-125 base unit with tape micro cassette and printer.

Heya Leviset, I believe I saw your nickname in the past, but I forgot where (Omnimaga or HP Museum?). Welcome to Codewalrus.

I myself was gifted a TI-57 a few months ago but I don't have the adapter thing to power it yet I think. It's an interesting device but I assume the TI-59 is more popular. I hope you enjoy your stay.

u/p2 September 28, 2017, 08:50:50 PM

Wew, yet another guy that was a calc pro even before I was born

Welcome to the site @Leviset

Hope you enjoy your stay

u/Leviset September 28, 2017, 09:19:09 PM

You can run the TI-57 internally with a 9v battery but NOT the TI-59, you'll fry it. I used a 3 AAA battery pack used for a Tomy baby alarm as a replacement pack. If you have an Elektronika MK-61 calculator, it's power supply will run the TI-59.
The major difference is the 59 has a built in card reader.
