Better date format

by

If I write my dates backwards, year, month, day, and time (using the numbers 0 to 23 to represent the hours of the day), when I sort them, they sort from earliest date & time to latest date & time.

Read – Danny Dunn, Invisible Boy

by

Today I finished reading “Danny Dunn, Invisible Boy” by Jay Williams

Update from the adult Justin: This was the first book I read in the Danny Dunn series, and I devoured them all in any order I could get them.

This was also the very first book I checked out of the public library on a brand new library card from the Penarth public library.

I also learned, a few weeks later, I had the power to fill out a little rectangular card with up to a half-dozen book titles, and have them brought from another library somewhere else in the country directly to my local library so that I could read them.

Infinite loops

by

Is it possible for the CPU in my Atom to figure out if the CPU is in an infinite loop?

Is there something I can do to test this?

For the infinite loop I mean?

I can easily test for $100 JMP $100 or in BASIC “10 GOTO 10”, or an equivalent, but how about a harder loop condition?
