Update 14 May 2010

Thanks to all the people who have given me positive comments about this talk. I was really pleased to hear people say that they had been inspired to solve problems they had with Python, providing some inspiration was my main goal in preparing this talk, not necessarily showing you how to do things.

Nathan's Z80 Project Mark 2: Memory Installed! Sun, 10/18/2009 - 21:08 — nathan

More progress on the Z80 project; I have fitted the first RAM chips tonight. After sorting the code so far into 3 source files, I implemented the memory read and memory write functions. These appeared to work on single memory locations, so I implemented the block read and write functions. Using a Python script (see the Z80 Project page for the file) I wrote the XOR combination of the high and low address bytes to each memory location, then read the memory back and tested it against this value.

Dwarf PIC programming utility Wed, 09/09/2009 - 13:33 — nathan

I had a day or two waiting for parts to arrive recently, and started tinkering with PIC programming in Linux. I was really pleased with how easy it was to program a PIC with my PICKit 2 programmer using the available command line tools, but what I wanted was an even easier GUI interface for it. So I wrote one.

Mandelbrot in Python Wed, 11/07/2007 - 16:00 — nathan

It occurred to me the other day that I haven't done any serious fractal programming since my first year at uni when I was learning MATLAB. (When I say serious, I in now way imply that this is particularly import, more that it demands I think harder than I might otherwise do.)
