Creating a Bare Bones Bootloader
Upon hearing the word 'bootloader', many people cower in fear. It seems like a scary low-level thing that's very easy to mess up. To dispel some of this fear, I'm going to walk through making a super simple bootloader/OS, assuming only a basic level of familiarity with assembly language and how computers work.

First Atomic Clock Wristwatch
Do not be misled. The many "atomic time" wristwatches you see on the market today are merely cheap quartz wristwatches with a built-in radio receiver. The watch sets itself from 60 kHz VLF radio time signals transmitted by NIST from station WWVB near the US atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. At least once a day…

A New Development for Coverity and Heartbleed
Byte swapping does not necessarily imply the data comes from an external source. For example, when writing graphics code, you sometimes need to do byte swapping if you’re converting between 24-bit RGB and BGR image formats (Windows’ GDI famously uses BGR so this is one place where you need to do such conversions)…

The Heartbleed bug in OpenSSL has resulted in a fair amount of damage across the internet. The bug itself was quite simple and is a textbook case for why programming in unsafe languages like C can be problematic. As an experiment to see if a safer systems programming language could have prevented the bug I tried…

Knuth: Open Letter to Condoleezza Rice (2002)
I'm 99.99% sure that my writing this letter will have no effect, but my conscience tells me to write it anyway. Danziger's cartoon has pushed me out of my lethargy.
