Well,

I learnt that Vince's wife is not a good flyer.

Regarding his posts ...

Usefullness score: 0%
Readability score: 5%
Ramble score: 95%
Confusion score: 75%
Soporific score: 100%

That said, this forum would be missing something without his input.

Hey meat-head,

I'm glad to know that this forum would 'be missing something' without me. But I must say, that those scores you gave me were really painful to see. Knowing your extensive background on all issues embedded, I'm now having a problem with my self-confidence and wonder if I'll ever make it in this industry.

Its good to know that I scored well on the Ramble, Confusion, and Soporific sections of the Limp Sausage Standard metrics.

Puleeze enlighten me on your own scores in this regard.

Poor summary, but I'm sure it scored well on Limp Sausage Standard.

I would summarize it more as "get the best tools for the job"

"Yes sir right away sir!"

At ease soldier.

Keil IDE runs under Wine...so NO, you don't need windows!

But while I love Linux machines for a number of reasons, I can only note that Wine sounds like a workaround. The direct approach - using a Windows machine - do sound like a more natural way.

But please expand on this. Runs under Wine as in being able to run the IDE or being able to compile or also able to use USB with the ULink to download and debug? A lot of Win32 development tools can run the IDE and compile under Wine but fails to access programming adapters.

"Knowing your extensive background on all issues embedded..."

It's nice to see that my reputation is becoming known ;) Even though I suspect that it is not really appreciated.

Vince,

Your scores were low for readability and usefullness purely because I was unable to read the complete post. It's a possibility that I've got attention deficit disorder, but I think it may be to do with the amount you write. How do you find the time to type so much???

As for my scores, well ... I'll leave it to you to judge.

Why do people keep using my name around here?

Sorry, Mr Monkey.

Well, the message was lost in the smoke. I did my best, but even a double expresso couldn't keep the lids open all the way through.

That's because you haven't learnt how to comment code properly. Here's a template you could try following in the future:

If a sufficiently large number of code monkeys were given teletypes, would they eventually write UNIX...?

"If a sufficiently large number of code monkeys were given teletypes, would they eventually write UNIX...?"

That would be easy.

A more challenging task would be to come up with one of Cpt. Vince's monologues ;)

"A more challenging task would be to come up with one of Cpt. Vince's monologues"

How do you know that they aren't already doing it...?

With digressions to ++a and a+=1

I would think that the number of code monkeys in service is a restricted figure, to avoid people to deduce the Peak Productive Power (PPP), so we may not be able to estimate if there are enough of them. Maybe hacking Logictech, Microsoft and Keytronic to retrieve sales figures for keyboards could help bounding the possible number of code monkeys :)
