[s1mp3-dev] Hello!

[Rembrand van Lakwijk]

Hi,
my name is Rembrand van Lakwijk and I've been around for quite some time 
now on this mailinglist, so it seemed like a good idea to introduce 
myself properly and become an official member of this project. I really 
like the idea of programming custom firmware for these players because 
they're so widespread and their firmware is so crappy it irritates the 
hell out of me every day. And even if we don't complete the project it's 
always a good learning experience - I've got absolutely nothing to do 
this summer. I have two S1mp3 players - one is a 1GB one from Lenco 
which basically looks like a solid, square block, the other one is 256MB 
and has the classic s1mp3 design that's also on the main s1 site. Both 
have normal LCD's with multicolor backlight.
I have experience with Z80 in that I used to program apps in assembly 
for TI calculators, and I completed a 1 year basic course in C++ (before 
deciding i wanted to study medicine), which I used to program some other 
devices in plain C. I have absolutely no knowledge of programming for 
Windows or Linux (except in visual basic, a long long time ago ;)). I've 
also done some PHP projects, but if there's something i can't stand it's 
designing web pages with both compatibility and standards compliance in 
mind.
Currently I'm trying to develop a display-settings detection tool which 
works via loadram, but somehow it keeps crashing s1mulator without any 
error message at all.
The coming 2 weeks I'll be pretty busy making sure i make it to the 
second year of my study, but after that i'm all yours. You can find me 
on the IRC channel pretty often, my nick there is 'Remboooo' (or 'rem').

Cheers! :)
