| 04:59 | <&McMartin> | Looks like that bad boy's off to the garbage bin of history. |
| 04:59 | <&McMartin> | Pity, I liked the cut of its jib until its abject failure. |

| 07:39 | <&McMartin> | Writing up instructions for how to get various assemblers to output 128KB NES ROM files. One of them -- and one of the ones I really liked and used for one of my major projects -- turns out to have a hard-failure if ever asked to produce a file larger than 64KB in size. |

| 08:08 | <&McMartin> | So here's some versions that *do* work. https://bumbershootsoft.wordpress.com/2022/10/26/nes-creating-an-unrom-image/ |
| 08:10 | <@macdjord> | McMartin: "bytes our output in the same order that the source files specify them." -> "bytes in our output are in the same order that the source files specify them." |
| 08:12 | <@macdjord> | "is probably limited to 16 bits. Elch." 'Bletch'? |
| 08:14 | <&McMartin> | Elch, that meat was tainted, you feel deathly ill |
| 08:15 | <&McMartin> | (Which is to say, that spelling is from Nethack) |
| 08:15 | <@macdjord> | Ah. |
| 08:16 | <&McMartin> | That was "bytes *are* output in..." because apparently when I'm drafting text I am taking dictation from myself and type homonyms by accident. |

| 16:38 | | * abudhabi__ explores an absurd e-gov solution. |
| 16:38 | < abudhabi__> | Employers must submit "we paid this guy this much and owe the gov this much tax" forms. They must do so electronically now. |
| 16:39 | < abudhabi__> | If you happen to be just some guy employing some other guy to do something, this is also required. |
| 16:40 | < abudhabi__> | The software solution the govt came up with involves running Internet Explorer with Adobe Reader and a govt plugin. |
| 16:58 | <@TheWatcher> | ... |
| 17:03 | < abudhabi__> | There's a desktop app, alternatively, which runs on Adobe AIR. |
| 17:03 | < abudhabi__> | It requires Adobe Reader 8.3 or newer, but apparently Adobe Reader 22 is too new for its breeches. |
| 17:42 | < abudhabi__> | After some wrangling, I've managed to install all the ancient software that makes the govt software work. |
| 18:17 | < Emmy> | I remember that time some... 5? 8? years ago where i filed my taxes digitally and was too lazy to switch to windows. Turned out, they had a linux app, too. Worked very well, somehow. |
