On a semi-unrelated note, anyone know of anything like Stripe that is available in Australia? Some way down the track I'll be needing to accept payments from people through my project and I'm not sure where to start - would appreciate some first-hand impressions if anyone has anything to offer?

There isn't one, but Pin looks promising.

I just loves me some 6502. :3:

It looks like you've got everything sorted out, but maybe this might help? Here are the macros from my C code for my quickie 6502 disassembler:

code:

#define IMMEDIATE(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x -- %s $%02x\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), op, (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 2; break; }
#define ZEROPAGE(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x -- %s $00%02x\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), op, (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 2; break; }
#define ZEROPAGE_X(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x -- %s $00%02x, X\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), op, (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 2; break; }
#define ZEROPAGE_Y(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x -- %s $00%02x, Y\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), op, (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 2; break; }
#define ABSOLUTE(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x %02x %s $%02x%02x\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), (*(code+currentIP+2)), op, (*(code+currentIP+2)), (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 3; break; }
#define ABSOLUTE_X(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x %02x %s $%02x%02x, X\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), (*(code+currentIP+2)), op, (*(code+currentIP+2)), (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 3; break; }
#define ABSOLUTE_Y(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x %02x %s $%02x%02x, Y\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), (*(code+currentIP+2)), op, (*(code+currentIP+2)), (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 3; break; }
#define INDIRECT(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x %02x %s ($%02x%02x)\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), (*(code+currentIP+2)), op, (*(code+currentIP+2)), (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 3; break; }
#define INDIRECT_X(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x -- %s ($%02x, X)\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), op, (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 2; break; }
#define INDIRECT_Y(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x -- %s ($%02x), Y\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), op, (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 2; break; }
#define ACCUMULATOR(op) { printf("%04x: %02x -- -- %s A\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), op); currentIP++; break; }
#define RELATIVE(op) { printf("%04x: %02x %02x -- %s $%02x\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)), op, (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 2; break; }
#define IMPLIED(op) { printf("%04x: %02x -- -- %s\n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), op); currentIP++; break; }
#define INVALID { printf("%04x: %02x -- -- INVALID \n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP)); currentIP++; break; }
#define INVALID_TWO { printf("%04x: %02x %02x -- INVALID \n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1))); currentIP += 2; break; }
#define INVALID_THREE { printf("%04x: %02x %02x %02x INVALID \n", (currentIP + 0x8000), *(code+currentIP), (*(code+currentIP+1)),(*(code+currentIP+2))); currentIP += 3; break; }

I set up a large case statement to use them like this:

code:

    switch (*(code+currentIP))
    {
      /**** ADC ****/
      case 0x69: IMMEDIATE("ADC")
      case 0x65: ZEROPAGE("ADC")
      case 0x75: ZEROPAGE_X("ADC")
      case 0x6D: ABSOLUTE("ADC")
      case 0x7D: ABSOLUTE_X("ADC")
      case 0x79: ABSOLUTE_Y("ADC")
      case 0x61: INDIRECT_X("ADC")
      case 0x71: INDIRECT_Y("ADC")
      /**** AND ****/
      ...

Set up the switch for whatever opcodes are supported by your hardware and you are good to go. I use a base address of $8000 because of the hardware I am working with, but you can use whatever for your project. The only gotcha is if there is a large data block in the middle of a binary dump, you can interpret some of the data as instructions, get one or two bytes off, and then get garbage after that point in your disassembly. You get output like:

code:

8000: 78 -- -- SEI
8001: d8 -- -- CLD
8002: a9 10 -- LDA $10
8004: 8d 00 20 STA $2000
8007: a2 ff -- LDX $ff
8009: 9a -- -- TXS
800a: ad 02 20 LDA $2002

It would really help me collaborate with a small team because we would be able to be responsible for different parts of the application, and so long as everyone follows their input guidelines and provide correct output based on the document, I can modularize dev work with a small team.

	checkLine(false)
	checkGrids()
}

function checkLine(horizontalbool) {
	var lineblocks = [], lineblocksname = [], tempindex, matchblock, block, r, c;
	for (r = 1; r < 10; r++) {
		lineblocks.splice(0, 10);
		lineblocksname.splice(0, 10);
		for (c = 1; c < 10; c++) {
			if (horizontalbool === true){
				block = getBlock(r, c);
			} else {
				block = getBlock(c, r); <!-- drat Im clever -->
			}
			
			if (block.value !== '') {
				lineblocks.push(block.value);
				lineblocksname.push(block.getAttribute('name'))
			}
		}
		while (lineblocks.length > 0) {
			tempindex = lineblocks.indexOf(lineblocks[0], 1);
			if (tempindex > 0) {
				matchblock = getBlockByName(lineblocksname[tempindex]);
				block = getBlockByName(lineblocksname[0]);
				matchblock.setAttribute('class', 'error');
				block.setAttribute('class', 'error');
				lineblocks.splice(0, 1);
				lineblocks.splice(tempindex, 1);

				lineblocksname.splice(tempindex, 1);
			} else {
				lineblocks.splice(0, 1);

}

Still need to make the puzzle generator, I'm kind of lost on how to generate a good puzzle.

my stepdads beer posted:

There's a lot of options out there: Munin, Graphite, and OpenTSDB to name a few. Of these, Graphite seems (so far) best-poised to:

a) collect and trend completely arbitrary system metrics really easily without a ton of custom plugins (you can dump data to it with netcat)
b) integrate best into custom dashboards and view components

It's got its warts for sure, and I hope it inspires someone to come up with something much better to supplant it soon, but for now it's a pretty okay RRD storage tool. For me, Munin's biggest flaw is that it's still using rrdtool, which was okay five years ago but is woefully underqualified for the kinds of metric storage we need today. Have you ever tried to backfill historical data into rrdtool once a more recent data point has been written into the database? It's impossible -- the rrdtool format wasn't designed to do that.

We're opting for the custom dashboard route as a way to help us correlate performance charts, availability problems, trouble tickets, other system events, documentation, and a quick view into our CMDB together in one place. Having commonly-accessed reports on things like backups stuffed into there where people won't lose them is pretty nice too. Right now the whole thing is just static Javascript, except for Graphite on the backend; eventually the dynamic parts will be a Django app.

The current dashboard displays static images rendered by Graphite, but you can click on the image to replace it with a dynamic client-side chart done through Rickshaw that then lets you select/deselect certain graphs, display tooltips showing the counter value at a specific point in time, and so forth. I'm kind of excited about how easy ExtJS makes this whole process, as inflexible as it is compared to something lean like jQuery. (We end up having a jQuery UI dependency anyway on account of Rickshaw, but for an internal app over a gigabit network, I really couldn't care less.)

Jesus christ! Every time you post, the renderings look more realistic. Please tell me you do this as a career. How hard is it to pick up something like this. Obviously I won't be able to pump out something like this, but I'd love to be able to better appreciate the work that goes into it.

That's always a good test of how photorealistic a rendering actually is. It's always possible to pick an image apart and find its flaws so fooling a casual observer for a few moments is about the best a renderer/artist can hope to do.

Nope, just a part time thing I'm afraid. I'd love to do it professionally, but there aren't many job openings for "very accurate ray tracer writer" around here.

Modern Pragmatist posted:

Writing a simple ray tracer isn't particularly hard and it's something that I think every programmer should do at some point. There are lots of good tutorials floating around, such as this classic and a few very good books on the subject.

Once you get past the simple stuff and start diving into physically correct light transport models, it's mostly statistics, which is less fun.

It could probably get you a job writing games middleware or software, if you were so inclined. It would make a fantastic portfolio piece.
