Why did I do it? (FOUND IT!!!!)
-
Update: Turns out I did have it after all. I forgot the name of the project, or rather I misremembered it as something else. A friend turned me on to his copy, which was old, but gave me the proper name. Looked through my ex-system drive and there it was! woot In a rare moment of total frustration and exasperation with my code, I deleted an entire project and abandoned it totally. I think. I may have just stashed it, but I probably deleted it. Either way I can't find it. Today, I tracked down a bug in a library that that project used. I want to resurrect that project, because it was freezing the same way this bug caused. This was maybe 6 months ago, and I didn't have a ready way to track the bug - the old project was too complicated. Well, maybe I fixed it. I don't know now. The project was really cool - it allowed you to pick and choose whatever statistics about your PCs hardware you wanted, and spit them to a display connected via USB. Which you can hang on your wall. This is what it looked like, except this one is fixed in terms of what it displays - you can't choose. And even though it works on large displays, it only shows a small amount of information - so that it will work on small displays as well. Image of ESP Mon 2 - a precursor to the project I'm talking about[^] I want you to be able to choose what to display. I never delete my code. Why did I do it here? I remember being absolutely beside myself with frustration - the kind that doesn't come around that often so that's why I think I deleted it. :( :thumbsdown:

We can all breath a sigh of relief!! :rolleyes:

It was a personal project, and I think I wasn't sure enough about it to make a github repo for it yet. It hadn't really matured to that point, or at least that was probably my reasoning at the time. Anyway, I found it after all. :)
