Do it little by little on the side.  Why not, you might be the next Bill gates  :)


I'd rather write software then the operating system that runs the software. Easier and more fun.

I gotta agree with that.

But if you ever did come up with a newer and better OS, well, the world is definitely ready for it. :)

Something I may build if I can find the parts cheap enough. It's a modified pixie 2 1watt transceiver for CW (morse code) for the 80 through 10 meter bands.

Had to replace the antenna symbol with a LED because I didn't have one, and the Key/Phones buttons are actually supposed to be audio jacks.

Also the crystal and the output filter (the inductor and capacitors before the antenna) are not set properly to proper values as they change depending on what band you're trying to tune to.

Been talking with some radio people and they have made similar tin can radios like this and they've managed to reach half way around the world depending on weather conditions.

Good, now just let me magically add those symbols into my software... Of course I know the schematic symbols for these, if you read the post I said I didn't have them.

Yeah, I know, you can either copy/pasta afterwards...OR, the "software" has a option to install extra symbols like "fonts" in Windows, or "brushes" in say ...Photoshop".

But it was still a joke dammit -.-


/e Go ahead ruin my good joke :(
