Tetris in HC12 assembly

Christoph — Fri, 21 May 2010 20:05:17 +0000

It’s been a while since we actually completed this project, but here’s the video finally. Basic HC12 dev board, PS2 controller on the SPI bus and the LCD display on two of the I/O ports. WPFP(document).ready(function() { //load player $f("saiweb_07e2f40f57413818889cf304cba9304a", "/wp-content/plugins/word-press-flow-player/flowplayer/gpl/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf", { plugins: { controls: { sliderGradient: 'none', progressGradient: 'medium', backgroundGradient: 'none', bufferGradient: 'none', opacity:1.0 [...]

Darkness during Christ’s Crucifixion an Eclipse?

Christoph — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:20:30 +0000

Luke 23:44f says: It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour, because the sun was obscured; and the veil of the temple was torn in two. (NASB) The popular naturalistic explanation for that is an eclipse. The sun was obscured by the moon, obviously. Dr [...]

The Historical Jesus in the Synoptics

Christoph — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:59:27 +0000

Examining the historical Jesus in the synoptic gospels was an assignment in a religious studies class I am currently taking. It may be useful for your own studies and point to you more resources based on my bibliography. From the introduction: As any careful reader of the NT gospels will notice, Mark, Matthew, and Luke [...]

When you stand over your child’s dead body

Christoph — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:31:59 +0000

Got this in today’s Grace Gem. The quote is by C.H. Spurgeon. May you so live, that when you stand over your child’s dead body, you may never hear a voice coming up from that clay, ”Father, your negligence was my destruction! Mother, your prayerlessness was the instrument of my damnation!“ “Impress these words of Mine on [...]

Be filled with the Spirit

Ever wonder what it means to be filled with the Spirit? Paul explains it clearly in two parallel passages in Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3

SSH config for non-standard ports

Christoph — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 03:40:42 +0000

This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. I frequently spend time on remote hosts via SSH, some, if not most, of which run sshd on a port other than 22. This resulted in me adding “-p 1234″ to every single ssh command I executed. Well, no more. Today I stumbled upon [...]

Audio Amplifier

Christoph — Mon, 25 May 2009 15:00:39 +0000

Just wanted to get this out there before I forget about it, so I won’t have the schematics up. This is your basic audio amplifier without any filters or fancy stuff. The little breadboard on the right has the pre-amp stage, a simple inverting op-amp amplifier with a gain of 4 V/V or so to [...]

Mouse gestures in Safari

Christoph — Sat, 09 May 2009 03:50:54 +0000

Recently I switched from Opera to Safari, more precisely the Webkit nightlies. The main reason is the great 1Password password manager and form filler that takes care of all my logins and more so that I can be more secure on the web. One of the main things I missed in Safari that I came [...]

Not just doing, but attitude

Christoph — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:38:23 +0000

I am reading in 1 Chronicles right now and just finished the last chapter. David’s prayer in 1 Chronicles 29:10ff reminded me of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, where he raised the bar from simply doing to the intentions of the heart. Don’t just not commit adultery, don’t lust in your heart, either. Don’t just [...]

Poll oddities

Christoph — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:32:38 +0000

It seems like over 61% of Americans feel like this country is headed in the wrong direction, but at the same time, 60% approve of Obama’s performance. I realize that Obama isn’t the only one running this country, but it appears to me that he has the most influence on what’s happening right now and [...]
