Dave McGuire, Well somehow I ended up e-mailing you directly without realizing it (the gmail reply selection is mostly automatic, so it caught me off guard when it switched from mailing the gEDA list to mailing you).
Anyway, for the benefit of everyone else, here's my last e-mail in case you want to comment on it. On 1/31/07, Jeremy Pedersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Right you are. I just wish I had gotten off my lazy butt sooner. I wanted to start learning this six months ago, when I had the time, and now I have to make time. I had noticed there were a few folks here who had written some software, but Icarus verilog and gnucap? Wow. I'll be sure not to ask any really stupid questions: I really wouldn't want to embarrass myself in front of people this talented. I wish I felt the same. I've always felt like math is a very important part of life, and I'm ashamed that I'm not better at it. I'm also not very good at analyzing circuits just yet, so when things can be reduced to formulas I find it helpful. I suppose you mean things like lambda calculus though. :-) You've been doing this for quite a long time. I didn't have a computer until I was ten, didn't discover GNU/Linux until I was 13 or so, and circuits were a mystery to me until September of last year. I always thought I wanted to be a "software guy" before I realized there's a sort of border world between the software and hardware schools of thought. I'm speaking of FPGA's, circuit simulators, PIC micro chips, etc... It seems like such an interesting mating of hardware and software. Thanks, Jeremy
