LaFarr Stuart's: Interests

Last Up date: 2009 July 2
Recent changes: Added link to Recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies.
Uploaded this page to ZYVRA.ORG but have not got the links to my other pages uploaded.
Links surrounded by: -- or in a pinkish background are not there yet.
If you have interested in a particular page that is not available contact me and I will work on it.

Links to some of my favorite very simple Recipes:
Peanut Butter Cookies Bread Dutch pancakes HutsPot Lasagna
Other interests:
Lake Levels Arizona California Old Navigation things

Elevations of the Colorado River Lakes, and a lot more information. About half way down you can find a link to a monthly history of the elevations of Lake Mead since it was built. As you will see it is now (2003 Sept.) lower than it has been in years.

My Computer Playing

I have been experimenting with Homophones. (Words that have different spellings and different meanings but sound the same when spoken.) Examples are: "no, know" or "all, awl". Here is a list of nearly 1,000 Homophones

I wrote a couple programs: one that Scrambles the letters in words, and a second one that replaces words with their homophone. Click here for: Samples of programs that Scramble text.

I recently found out how to get some information about what people are looking at at my web site. Much to my surprise one of the most popular pages was what I have about a Shareware Assembler I like.

I have written some Arithmetic routines you can download and might find interesting. They all run under DOS. I have to conclude that there are quite a few people interested in programing. Most of the references came from Google, and one of the most frequently searched for words was: "8086". I feel somewhat guilty in that while I recommend my favorite Assembler, I really give little help to someone wanting to learn how to program. I think that is why I have received very few emails on the subject. I guess most were disappointed in what they found. So I hope to make it better. Click here to see my first efforts!

My plan is to show the code for the little program "PAN" (Phone Alphas to Numbers) and have links to explain it in detail. Also make the source, and "pan.com" available via a simple link; so people will not have to first un-ZIP them. PAN.COM is only 77 bytes long! Try doing that in C.

As a tease: I have another program: ADULT.COM which is 96 bytes long. Click here for samples of what it does. Yes, if anybody wants to see the source it will be available.


Here is a link to a friend's site which describes: Our interest in FPGA's. Randy and his dad are both engineers. Quite possibly I am "Over My Head"? But, maybe I'll learn something.

I have been working on an explanation of the --Lehmer Chain Machine-- he used to factor large numbers. My write up is not complete yet, but you may want to take a look at it.
