Hi All,
< rant mode > Bleedin', Elephanting, fake FTDI chips < / rant mode > been trying to test a mod I have made to a 'widget' to all the reel o' cable to work. The GPS module was playing up and I found out why fake FTDIs in the batch of these GPS units. Never saw any until now, heard about them though. Its not as if they are price gougers for the originals, I meant the cost of the fakes will be so close to the genuine it's not worth it, the only reason I can think of is the amount needed... calm, calm, happy thoughts.

Given that that is how they treat customers, they have found their way onto my list of companies that I will never do business with.

As if the real FTDI chips weren't bad enough (or at least FTDI's software) .

There appears to be a work-around. FTDI released a utility that fixes it.

I will have search for that as a user we are not allowed to update the drivers (which can cause problems on newer stuff). Thanks!

You'll have to be more specific than "not working."

Isn't it strange how helpful companies can become after they've arrogantly treated customers like sh1t and it's turned into a public relations disaster?
Customers are such a pain. Heaven only knows why they don't like being treated like sh1t. They should just hand over money and STFU.

But think of the Sax.

Sax and violins, is that all you think about?

In that case he can go ahead like Donald trumpet run for president.

I tried running for political office but they said I wasn't corrupt enough.

I am not favoring any candidate in the upcoming election and no unicorns were injured while composing this post.

You're right about the sackbut if you piccolo quality one you should take some new courses as well.

Give it a rest!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

...that you have no idea whether the concept is viable, let alone how to implement the concept because it's probably never been done before?
Like this[^].
(Sorry for the clicky to my blog, but it's the easiest way to show you all a screenshot.)
Now, in some ways, I can't imagine this hasn't been tried (and probably abandoned) but I am definitely having fun exploring the marriage of not-really-flowcharting code diagramming with highly component-ized code.
The diagramming concepts (creating small "functional" components graphically represented in some way) should be applicable to just about any other language as well. I can already see how this could be used with Javascript, Python, etc., and with some interesting "intelligence" to glue the code together into applications. I even have a simple static page web-server that runs "written" in this style.

how & why?

Because we say that an application is made of smaller "building blocks" of code, but is that just a cute saying, or can it be actually done without creating a lobotomized language?
And how, well, this is why I created FlowSharp, because I wanted a playground for this idea. Leveraging SharpDevelop's editor (I also have a Scintilla plug-in, but it doesn't have Intellisense) and some other stuff, a lot of the pieces just needed to be glued together.

Reminded me of Lego Mindstorms; heard a professor once claim that we'd not be programming in a language, but in those blocks by the year 2012.
