The last few days we had more traffic on the -commit list than on -user. Unusual?

OK, I admit it's more fun to fix bugs than to discuss theories which never end up in code anyways. Perhaps it's sort of an adventure game for intellectuals. 'grep -rn' is the most used command and one searches up and down what's going on, how pieces fit together. Adds printf()s everywhere to prove assumptions, creates simple layouts just for testing.

At the end there are only a few changed lines, perhaps a few removed (always good!) or added (can't avoid it) ones, so outside observers don't see much of this game. Anyways, I like it at times. Also totally different from the bare metal embedded code I do usually.

The nice thing is, those writing code set the future of the application. :-)


Cheers,
Markus
