| | As I was learning to program, Python lists seemed totally magical to me. I imagined them as being implemented by some sort of magical datastructure that was part linked-list, part array that was perfect for everything. As I grew as an engineer, it occurred that this was unlikely. I guessed (correctly) that rather than some sort of magical implementation, it was just backed by a resizable array. I decided to read the code and find out.

| | I've posted the scripts used to generate the anti-aliased text used in the User Interface. The first is a Photoshop script,CreateFontData.jsx. This makes a set of PNG files, one for each character. The second isConvertText.py, a Python script that takes the output of CreateFontData and generates C code for display the characters on the Epson LCD used in the project. Note these scripts have some hard-coded pathnames in them (to the development folder) but this is pretty easy to find and modify.
