A game that, if ported to Dutch, would cause a lot of debates about whether IJ was one letter or two.

Don't want to take to much real estate here in the lounge so I'm editing my post to add this:

Don't know how you feel about Black Moth Super Rainbow. Probably depends in part on your age and it helps to be a bit out there in the first place if you're going to enjoy it. It's perfect hacking music, IMO. I like coding to it because they use vocals as background music rather than trying to distract me from my code with articulated lyrics.

After coming off of a run of a bad few days in terms of development I did a thing.
I have a device that can connect via USB but only as a virtual COM port. It can't be a HID device or anything. All communication is serial, RS232 style (even though it's USB)
I have an application that works with it, and the bluetooth stack I was using prior exploded and regressions ate my BLE code. So I wanted to make it work over serial.
I did this in C# in the app, with C++ on the MCU end.
I have created a serial negotiation system that
A) Allows the application to automatically detect a device, and which COM port it's on with no user intervention. Only valid devices will be detected.
B) Allows the serial port to *also* be used at the same time for logging output messages. A filter can be applied that would only produce log messages.
So now the silly thing is plug and play *and* it still allows me to write debug spew to the serial port without interfering with the application's serial comms.
I do it by seeding my commands with characters outside of the ASCII 7-bit range to signal a command stream. This means you get periodic "garbage" in your logs, but like i said it can be filtered out.
Anyway, after the past few days of banging my head against the wall and making rookie mistakes I pulled a rabbit out of my hat. Woo!

Congratulations! I've opened up another forgotten aspect of history. And figured out another, easier way to create 2-bit color (black & white) graphics using Krita and another vector graphics program I have. So I'm stuck documenting it, and drawing thousands of stars, to get it illustrated properly. Love to do some programming again, but here's to some browsing to relax the mind since I can't do that... Your stuff sounds interesting!

Nice music, I can recommend Spinvis[^] to you, he sings in Dutch so you won't be bothered by the lyrics

If he makes me accidentally pick up some Dutch I'm blaming you.

You invented 'comments' in serial communication, don't you?

Nice work!
It reminds me the Amiga Diagnostic ROM, that sends everything both to the screen and to the serial port - in case the screen actually totally toasted...
