Daily programming thread

Seeing as how mods don't care about this board since most of the top posts are just porn spam, what are you working on, /prog/?

At the very moment I'm at work, doing Android code and shit. Kinda boring.

Otherwise I'm currently writing a C++ abstraction library for the PIC32 family of microprocessors, with the goal to make them easier than they are now (instead of writing hardware registers) and harder than babby mode Arduino. I plan on publishing it for everyone once I'm done, since PIC32s are cheap (~$10), a shitload of pins, 80mhz CPU...all around more powerful than Arduino.

What can the BIOS do? Store information about the user to be recovered later by an agent of conspiracy?

It's supposed to pass control to an operating system. I don't know enough about it to verify this, but I can't prove that it wouldn't be possible to have the bios run the operating system in an emulator and keep control of the processor. So if it could keep control after the process has booted, it could log execution to some region of a mass storage device it doesn't let the operating system know about, or maybe leak data over your ethernet connection. I mean, if you have something running above your operating system, you are compromised. The only question is, is there enough resources in BIOS to encode all of that.

These are fun. I miss windows 9x
