The majority of posts here will remain without any reply from my side.
Often I simply don't really understand much about it so it won't be helpful or useful.
sometimes I know the posters don't like my replies (from their past reactions), really there are some who would prefer not to receive direct replies from me. I have the same feeling too about a few eventually even if I don't really care.
Or it is mainly a conversation between two members who are both knowledgeable so it is simply disturbing and not asked for.
When OP does not know, I usually do reply if I have anything useful to say about it.
Unfortunately I don't always have time to use forums, recently I found a month to create a new website and reorganize some online stuff.
I learned LINUX a few months ago even. I stopped using it for the time being even if I could install it (for various reason such as some softwares only exist for Windows and it is messy to switch back and forth all the time).
About electronics I don't know- I got rid most of my stuff it is not clear if and when I will restart.
Some projects were abandoned because they are simply not worth further efforts, a lot of prototype PCBs went to ewaste.
Sure I still have the photos online from primitive LED matrix circuits, but I don't documentate everything on the internet.
For the time being I am visiting again here on this forum and I work on my website, but I can't say for how long I will continue.
I still maintain plans for some PCBs to produce but at some point of time maybe I want to specialize, and all the other things will become a part time activity.
And spiders yes, they are gone too, except a few arriving now and then. Not only spiders a while ago I was growing dust mites in a container with wood chips, really thousands of them because I gave them ideal conditions and plenty of food.
Maybe this is something I want to do- working with invertebrates instead of soldering stuff or writing C code.
And no I am not a web designer I don't make websites professionally.
So far, I made about 24 cents (money) showing adverts.
I'd need about 10000 visitors a day to have some extra money.
Sometimes I wish for other, different or better forums but I have not yet found them. But I don't think I write posts on a forum 365 days a year for the rest of my life, maybe some months now and then.
What is bothering me really is the question should I keep to use PICs or switch to ST controllers.
Recently I connected a PIC32 for the first time, and was able to connect and read the FLASH. Haven't touched any circuit for a month now, I wanted some distance from all that stuff.
Today I was thinking to delete all the old photos but I found some I liked, downloaded for new blog entries, really some of them have memoriabilia value for me. It is really embarassing stuff at times, homemade etched PCBs, magnet wire, manually mounted SMDs, and a lot of resistors as well logic ICs.
But when I switch to ST controllers, it does not make so much sense to post about it on a forum, the user base is smaller, and it is not so much found on popular forums at all.
And yes I make mistakes too, for instance I spent too much time with assembler (for PICs), in the end it is just a waste, it is so difficult to write a larger application even if it is just 4K code. it took me 3 or 4 years to see it.
I wrote a new assembler code for a larger LED matrix, and after a year, I had really trouble to read my own code. Then I abandoned it quickly.
So if i stop posting some day, don't wonder, I might be busy, trapped in a web, or I simply need distance even from thinking about circuits.
