hows the pegasos now? hows it going?
-
Well.. Quite well.. I managed to get DVI output of Radeon to deliver 1600*1200 true color (is optimal to my monitor) and have been helping others with their Catweasel controllers.
Have not done so much lately though. Having flu takes it's toll. :-(
-
Just nitpicking, but it's so disturbing and I see it so often here,
I have to mention it at some point. No offense.
"you're" means "you are". VERY ugly when put instead of "your" ! (and in the same way, many use "it's" when it should really be "its"!)
Thank you for you time.

@ SlimJim
Kind of funny when a Swede is correcting an American about his English writing. :-o
@ JoannaK
takemehomegrandmas remedy: Scotch wiskey, lots of vitamin C and HUGE amount of sleep. Take care. Hope you gets better soon (I might be needing some guidance with a catweasel in a near future! ;-)).

@ takemehomegrandma
BTW: what is the meaning of "you gets"? ;-)
@ SlimJim
BTW: what is the meaning of "you time"? ;-)
hmmm, "alter Schwede!" (= "old Swede") as we Germans say ;-)

Hope you feel better, I'm sick as a dog myself :-x

:-D Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! What passes for grammar and spelling on here has been bugging me for ages, and I was beginning to think that I was the only one who noticed it!
;-) I was thinking of writing a tutorial on it, by the way....

@ Quixote:
then propably _you_ can tell me what "you gets" and "you time" should mean? ;-)
ciao...
-
@Ensu:
;-) "You gets" and "you time" are simple typographical errors for "You get" and "your time," respectively.
The occasional typo is only to be expected; we are all only human after all. But a few of us butcher the language so much it almost seems to be deliberate. And then there’s Mips_Proc’s meandering punctuation.…

@takemehomegrandma
I'll try those (well.. most likely having brandy instead of whiskey, though). ;-)
It looks like quite a many people have already purchased Catweasel mk3:s for their pegasos systems. I hope Jens get those other drivers out soon. Sid player would be nice to have.

@ ensu
Darn wisserbesser! ;-)

@slimjim and quixote:
And here I was thinking I was the only one being annoyed by some of the spelling going round on a.org :-).

To keep the language at a proper level, remember:
* Never use a preposition to end a sentence with
* Don't use no double negatives
* Its important to use apostrophe's correctly
* Always re-read your writing to make sure you haven't missed any out
* Give slang the elbow
* The passive voice should never be used
* No sentence fragments
* Don't overuse exclamation marks!!!
* Have you used question marks when necessary
* Last but not least, avoid clichés like the plague
;-)

Heeeeh... 'Glass houses' and all that huh? :oops:

Heeeeh!
Do you mean "never throw stones while sitting in glass houses"?
Well, i'll try to avoid this in future ;-)
ciao...
