I would have done it sooner but I never got around to commenting my codez.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Hi All,
The useful part of the day has come and gone, I'm too tired to do any more today. I have done what I intended to do and a bit more today (and oh joy the air con has died!) so I am now trying to look busy.
Looking to find secondary sources for components. This allows me to have Altium open and a circuit diagram in front of me with a browser open on a suppliers web page.

I didn't know it was a beer - I assumed it was a "Guinness + something" like Black Velvet.
Mind you, I could go a cold Guinness right about now ...

... because a wise master said:
Do or do not. There is no try.
I think he is right and with the old preprocessor my code would now look like this:
do or do not
{
}
this is why you fail (Exception ex)

}

The funny thing that my math teacher never saw Star Wars (he was around 60 when the movie came out and over 70 when teaching me) and still used this phrase daily...

So that's what Obi van Coyote meant with 'Only Smith deals in absolutes!' I always wondered who that was.

I used to #define WW3 1, so that I could write an infinte loop as while (!ww3) {...
That was for my hobby projects. At work I tried to #define ever ;;, so that I could write for (ever) {... but one of our external consultants (needless to say: a quite young fellow) felt this as such a provocation that he went through the entire SVN repository searching for for (ever)s, replacing them with the proper C code style: while(1), adding a nasty SVN comment for every corection he made about "some people" trying to be funny in an inappropriate way.
I really hope that guy never gets in contact with the CHILL language: EVER is a reserved word, and FOR EVER is The way to write an infinite loop, requiring no macro definitions.

Good to know how to send the code nazis on a wild goose chase while setting your real plan in motion somewhere alse, right?

I followed the Article Sending Morse Code with your Arduino[^] to setup the arduino simulator to flash out morse code.
Then I followed the instructions for Challenge 2 Summer Fun with Arduino Challenge[^] to generate a morse code for my member ID.
After I paste the morse code generated by putting my member ID in the arduino code, on the Enter your Contest Code[^] page under challenge 2, I get the message, The code you entered was incorrect. Please try again.
Am I missing something?
P.S.: I fail to see how entering the morse code for my member ID makes sure that I did follow the tutorial and generated the morse code using an arduino. I have a feeling that I missed something.

Did you enter the Morse code for your Member ID or your Username? They aren't always the same ...

The member ID, I had updated my username to be a custom one some time ago.

And the null terminator?
In my case I'd need
const char *memberNumber = "6122202\0"; You probably want
const char *memberNumber = "10983382\0";

I'm positive to have followed the instructions to the last letter. Probably a case like Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter's.
