After hearing about how those cars that run on biodeisel are actually WORSE, I ran across this article about how bamboo may not be as ecofriendly as people think (as far as being made into trendy fabrics and clothing) because of the refining process:

This page is maybe the only one that gives a hint on how to compile with cc65 for NES. Thanks for that!
But in the example, the atmos library is not needed, indeed, it shouldn't be linked for NES development. It does compile, but, the Atmos was a totally diferent computer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oric_Atmos just that! good luck! |

Having experienced first hand, many NGO, government aid, grants, ministries, working in developing countries, I agree.
To many programs are donor created, with little or no respect to local conditions, culture, emergent needs, long term benifit, etc. I have experiened Haiti since 2006, lived and worked with the people. There are hundreds of groups here doing thousands of projects deemed to help Haiti....no organization of resources, most do not coordinate with government agencies or others.....the effect is tens of millions of dollars being spent on single projects with no thought as to "grand scale" and long term sustainability of improvements for society. Many years of assistance to Haiti has proven to be not much effective in improving life for the average Haitian. They are still with no jobs, starving from lack of food, living in dire conditions. Band aid, upon band aid, has been applied in Haiti......hundreds of millions of dollars.....with no concept of a optimum goal. Next door, in the Dominican Republic (on the same island) it looks like Las Vegas....compared to Haiti looking like what it is....the fourth poorest country in the world. We need logical, properly managed efforts to build sustainable society, not only in Haiti, but world wide. William H Vastine/17/01/09 Petion-ville, Haiti |

I remember GEOS well on the C64 6510. SLOW slow slow. With no hardware interrupt to handle the mouse (joystick) movements, it bogged everything down. this, along with the fact that disk access was a 5.25 floppy.

Great! never knew there was a C compilers for NES. This can be very handy and definitely beats out NBasic...
will be playing around with it and see how much the cc65 lib provides. thanks for the info! |

This basic was originally developed for the MZ computer series from Sharp, sold mostly in Japan and Europe. A few small LCD machines from this line may have been sold in the United States. An English-language manual might be available from a British source, but it might not cover enhancements added to the language when it was ported to the Famicom.
It is also my understanding that some early American NES units had the expansion port on the main board, but the plastic case covered it. Might it be better to use a public domain basic? |

| DocVanThorp | GUI OS? | 1 | Aug 20 2008, 5:49 AM EDT by zdavid | ||||

There is an actual GUI operating system that could probably be adapted to run on the Famicom; GEOS, originally designed for the Commodore 64, has had its source code released to the public domain. GEOS was similar in many ways to the early MAC OS, and it could run on an 8-bit machine with only 64k of memory. There was also an Apple-II version.
The Famicom's graphic hardware is a little different, and its instruction set is slightly stripped down from standard 6502, but I don't think that it would be impossible to port this OS. It could maybe be modernized to incorporate some newer features of current GUIs. Another thing that this machine out to have is a flash-card slot. CompactFlash is probably the cheapest, but SD seems to be becoming the universal standard. If you don't support SD's built-in encryption (an almost never used feature) you don't have to pay licensing.

I don't know if the hardware design can be tweaked, but it would be helpful to have a wireless capability of some sort built-in. Being able to have e-books downloaded into the unit would be a great feature.
Another approach would be to use an external SD card for wireless, but then you're adding a $99USD card to at $12 computer. A 2G USB flash card costs around $10USD now, enough storage for hundreds of software applications. The scalability issues are going to be software availability, based on how many people will want to develop the skills set for programming the device. GEOS for the NES chip would be a good offering, but many NES/nbasic applications obviously aren't designed for it. A LOGO language interpreter would help introduce Constructivist education approaches. Compatibility with Commodore 64 or Apple ][ software would be helpful, but having a wireless networking capability built-in (perhaps using the Marvel chip used in the OLPC XO platform) would be useful, too.

I was exploring the idea of converting containers into hotel rooms. Maybe use 2 of them stacked upon one another or the like to make one room. What other ideas have you guys explored for a beach resort. I also like the idea of making rooms of bamboo..

Hey Guys,
Recently I've been working with some people from CalIT2 who have brought to light a particular technology that is pretty interesting. This particular technology is a website called wikimapia.org . This is a site where people can comment about anything based on a selected location on an interactive map (Think Google Earth). Users and add comments about things and ramble on about any particulars thats on their mind. This is strangely already in use widely by many users in India. I was also thinking that this could be a great way to tack on some of our other ideas and make them more tangible by making it location specific. The generation of user content doesn't have to stop at comments left in particular parts of the wikimapia map. The asterisk application could use information grabbed by wikimapia to obtain information that can contribute to a survey or "happiness rating" Since people are already using this widely couldn't a little more grease work bring wikimapia to a whole other level of usability and interaction?
