I did that work in 2015. I recounted it from what I had saved at that time in my git repository, and in my reviewing it on-the-spot after posting here I concluded incorrectly that it was wrong from that timeframe. As it turns out, the way it was back then was correct, and I had thought things through properly.

I'm so tired of people telling me that I have to do things the way everyone else does in order to be successful. The truth is you DO NOT if you're good enough, if you have enough vision and follow-through. Things that are fundamental in nature's design rise up and speak for themselves in any project. There are a host of people moving forward all the time who come up with new ways of doing old things better than the old ways.

I've looked at the requirements of learning the tools that exist and I see variances and issues in the way things are coded, things that could be done away with, merged, rethought, refactored, improved upon, etc., and that's what I plan to do with Logician, to bring in a more common base of natural intuitive understanding from the way people think, and the way things are and exist fundamentally, without having to learn the mechanisms established in the industry previously where they don't make sense. Some of it is truly archaic and could use a fresh perspective.

Without people willing to help me in THAT effort of looking at fundamentals and rebuilding from the ground up for the future, I'll go it alone with sadness, and the lot of you can benefit from the product I ultimately produce if you so desire. If not, no worries. No harm, no foul.

I will NEVER EVER EVER say something negative to anyone in such a way as to smash or diminish their hopes, dreams, or goals. Any goals which are truly off-the-charts ludicrous will have that fact revealed on the journey, and for some people (possibly myself included), that's the ONLY way they'll EVER learn. But for the rest, beating someone down like that is horrific.

To rise up with a negative voice and squelch someone in their heartfelt, enthusiastic, honest, reaching-out, sincere efforts ... it's akin to the worst kind of criminal behavior one person can do to another. It damages things on the inside which can never be undamaged. It cuts and produces scars that remain for life, impacting countless other areas of their life for the rest of their life.

May God's light shine upon each of our souls the light of truth and hope, and so brightly that all darkness is ended within each of us.

You have a very strange way of thanking people who give you sound
advice. No one has suggested you don't learn to run - merely that you
learn to walk first. No one has suggested that you should not dream, or
reach for the stars - merely that jumping off a cliff is not a good way
to learn to fly.

Lashing out at people who try to help, and insulting them in such
hyperbolic terms is not going to make your projects progress any faster.
It is just going to mean fewer people to help you on your way.

And for someone who says they will "NEVER EVER EVER say something
negative to anyone", you really do write impressively strongly worded
and highly negative posts sometimes. (And this one is not nearly as bad
as some of the ones you have directed at me.)

Not trying to be rude, I'm serious. You have gaping holes in your knowledge of digital logic design. If you don't know the significance of clock enables and are just learning the faculties of logic gates there is no point really in trying to teach you how to design a CPU.

Do you have a simple question using terminology we all share and understand?

I don't know what you are referring to here... at all. "it" has no meaning to me unless you explain "it".

You can do things any way you want. No one is telling you to do anything in a specific way. We don't understand what you are talking about because you can't be bothered to learn the common terminology or any of the basic concepts. If you want to learn it all on your own, inventing all the concepts yourself and giving everything a name you invented, then why are you here asking questions?

I've looked at the requirements of learning the tools that exist and I see variances and issues in the way things are coded, things that could be done away with, merged, rethought, refactored, improved upon, etc., and that's what I plan to do with Logician, to bring in a more common base of natural intuitive understanding from the way people think, and the way things are and exist fundamentally, without having to learn the mechanisms established in the industry previously where they don't make sense.

No, I have no interest in reinventing things that aren't broken. I have work to do and know how to get my work done using the tools available. If you want to design your own tools, obviously getting work done is secondary. Regardless that isn't how you started this thread. You started by explaining what you were trying to do and how you were trying to do it and asked, "Is there an easier / different way to do this?" All we have done is to try to explain why using clock enables is an easier way to do what you were doing.

I will NEVER EVER EVER say something negative to anyone in such a way as to smash or diminish their hopes, dreams, or goals. Any goals which are truly off-the-charts ludicrous will have that fact revealed on the journey, and for some people (possibly myself included), that's the ONLY way they'll EVER learn.

No one here has intentionally tried to be negative or to diminish your hopes. What we have tried to do explain how you are on a long, painful road and that we can help you find an easier way if you will listen. If you want to follow the rough road, that's your choice. I'm not making any judgements at all about your destination. That's all up to you.

If you want to discuss digital logic design, please ask questions. I'm not interested in discussing how people are diminishing your hopes or anything at all about god. This group is not about that. Sorry if you were hurt by anything I wrote.

I'm sorry this thread ended this way. I was hoping to help him make some progress on his design and his understanding of how to design logic. But I can't say I am surprised. He seems to have difficulties in understanding how others think in general. So it shouldn't be a surprise that he had trouble understanding the concepts we tried to explain to him. I guess that is also why he hasn't learned very much from all the many sources available on the web and in books.

I think that is the main reason why this group is relatively dead now. Most people have found other, very easy ways to learn digital logic design. Rich seems intent on literally reinventing the wheel in terms of digital logic design. Nothing he finds is good enough because it isn't the way he has already started thinking without even trying to understand how others do it.

Agreed. I have tried many times to help Rick (mostly in programming
groups, rather than this one). Sometimes it seems he learns a bit from
what I write, but sooner or later it ends with me or others telling him
he needs to learn more, or reduce the scope of his ambition, or re-think
the direction he is heading, and then we who help are declared to be
evil, negative influences, possessed by the devil (yes, apparently I am
possessed), or - as now - the worst sort of criminal.

Most Usenet groups are relatively dead (at least, most technical and
useful ones). People have other ways to ask questions and share
knowledge. I can't comprehend why people ("the youth of today") seem to
prefer web-based forums, but they do.

Still, even a quite group like this gets interesting discussions
sometimes, although I am mostly a lurker here as I haven't done much
programmable logic design for a long time.

I see Rick a bit different. He has taken on an enormous mission,
prompted by a blind faith that this is his calling and that by some
supernatural power he will be able to succeed.

He has learned enough about a lot of things, 'to be dangerous', but not
enough to really have an expertise of the level really needed to succeed
at his mission.

He seems to refuse to learn from the mistakes of others, and doesn't
look at history, perhaps due to his feeling of calling, and as such he
is doomed to repeat most of the mistakes of the past, which will mean it
will take him a long time to get to where he wants to get to. He somehow
thinks that he will get the insight to bypass the issues that others had
in those attempts, and somehow overlooked the answer.

He also has the typical fanatical mindset that anyone trying to change
his mind about anything remotely based on what he has taken of faith,
must be from an evil source, since he can't be wrong.

This is not my position.

I am seeking to build a foundation that is based on an explicit
offering unto the Lord, prayed over, pursued toward Him, and not
just to get it done. It is the best of what He first gave me given
back to Him.

I receive offered help when it comes from a commensurate offering,
but other help comes from other foundations and I cannot receive and
integrate that help into my project because it's not an offering of
legitimate giving with a desire to help, it's more like, "This is
how you do it [moron]," and such attitudes are of the enemy spirit.

There really is a 1 00% division in this world between the saved
and unsaved. The goals I pursue are my best offering unto the Lord,
guven in explicit holiness for Him, weak and failing as they are,
they are still my best.

When others seek to serve the Lord, for the Lord, with their skills,
then that help will be integrated because it will integrate in the
way of love and offering and peace, and not from some other source.

You can listen to my philosophy in this video I recorded back in
2012. It begins about 35 minutes into the video, and was a total
surprise to me when I recorded it. Unplanned, it's summed up my whole
thinking nicely:

http://www.visual-freepro.org/videos/2012_12_08__01_vvmmc__and_vfrps_relationship_to_christianity.ogv

You may understand if you listen.

I keep hoping and praying others will come on board and help. We are
stronger together than apart, but it must be for the Lord and not for
other reasons.

This reminds me of the joke about the man on the roof of his flooded home. A person in a rowboat offers help and the man replies, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." A helicopter hovers overhead and offers help and the man replies, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." A motorboat comes by offering help and the man replies, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith." Soon the water rises above the roof and the man drowns.

On reaching heaven the man asks the lord why he wasn't saved. The lord replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

I would suggest you stop turning away motorboats, Richard.

My goals are holiness, Rick C. Not just getting it done. You do not
bring a corrupt offering before the Lord. You bring Him one without
spot or blemish. In this modern age of post-Pentecost, that means one
of holiness, sincerity, purpose, and given in sanctification and prayer.

Also, my name is "Rick," Rick C. Not Rich. Not Richard. I have
never posted using those names, so you disrespect me by your twist.

I am Frederick Clarkson Hodgin, III. My grandfather was Fred, my dad
is Clark, that left remaining names for me:

----erick -----son

My mother dated someone named Erick before she knew my father, so "Rick"
it was.

Do you have any non-worldly-focused goals, Rick C? Or is it all just
a job to you? That joke is a poor example because it's obvious the
Lord answered his prayer by sending him help to save his life. Nonetheless,
there are times you stay on the figurative roof and drown rather than
partake of worldly sin. You cannot receive unholiness and build a
holy foundation. In the Bible, David could not build the house of
God to hold the ark of the covenant, because he had too much blood on
his hands:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Chronicles+28%3A1-5&version=KJV

I am worse than David, yet the Lord has cleansed and sanctified me
by His washing of blood at the cross. I now seek actively to honor Him
in the full range of efforts I do. And I still fail a lot, but my true
intent is unto Him, and my failings are not of attitude, and I repent when
I fail, regroup, and move ahead. I also face many spiritual battles,
which are designed to hinder me. Many of you are instruments of those
spiritual battles, yet because of sin you are unaware of how you are
being used to do harm. One day you will see it and know.

evil, negative influences, possessed by the devil (yes, apparently I am
possessed), or - as now - the worst sort of criminal.

I see Rick a bit different. He has taken on an enormous mission,
prompted by a blind faith that this is his calling and that by some
supernatural power he will be able to succeed.

He has learned enough about a lot of things, 'to be dangerous', but not
enough to really have an expertise of the level really needed to succeed
at his mission.

He seems to refuse to learn from the mistakes of others, and doesn't
look at history, perhaps due to his feeling of calling, and as such he
is doomed to repeat most of the mistakes of the past, which will mean it
will take him a long time to get to where he wants to get to. He somehow
thinks that he will get the insight to bypass the issues that others had
in those attempts, and somehow overlooked the answer.

He also has the typical fanatical mindset that anyone trying to change
his mind about anything remotely based on what he has taken of faith,
must be from an evil source, since he can't be wrong.

This is not my position.

It is quite clear that this is your position. But like several aspects
of what you do and write, I don't think you are fully aware of it. (And
as always, this is an independent observation, not an insult.) You are
convinced that your positions in many respects are "divinely inspired"
in some way. Now, I am not going to say that this is not the case -
what I believe here does not matter. However, how you /interpret/ your
divine inspiration, and what you do with it, is a purely human matter -
it is up to /you/.

Thus when many people tell you that you are wrong about something, it is
entirely possible that you /are/ wrong, despite divine inspiration. The
people driving the motorboats and helicopters may not believe in the
same god you do - that does not mean they are not there to help. And
who are you to say that folks like Rick and I are not giving you the
guidance you asked god for?

I am seeking to build a foundation that is based on an explicit
offering unto the Lord, prayed over, pursued toward Him, and not
just to get it done. It is the best of what He first gave me given
back to Him.

Again, it seems clear that you believe this - but that is not close to
the image you project. You give the image of astounding arrogance and
pride - that you believe you alone have been chosen to re-create all
programming, software, hardware, and even the tools used to make them,
and that you alone are good enough for the job because no one else
measures up to your standards of purity.

I receive offered help when it comes from a commensurate offering,
but other help comes from other foundations and I cannot receive and
integrate that help into my project because it's not an offering of
legitimate giving with a desire to help, it's more like, "This is
how you do it [moron]," and such attitudes are of the enemy spirit.

That does not apply to any of the help you have been given here, in this
thread. Certainly there are people in groups that you have annoyed so
consistently that they directly insult you - and certainly there are
some people who are just rude anyway.

People do sometimes tell you your ideas are moronic (or words to that
effect). That is not the same thing as saying /you/ are a moron. I
don't think you are a moron, but I /do/ think some of the things you say
or plan are truly stupid.

I assume that when you tell people they are the worst sort of criminals,
or possessed by daemons, or simply evil or negative people, you are
doing it because you think it might help them. And yet if someone else
says something as mild as "this is probably not the best way to reach
your goals" or "you need to go back and learn some basics", they are
evil and negative and fighting against you.

There really is a 1 00% division in this world between the saved
and unsaved. The goals I pursue are my best offering unto the Lord,
guven in explicit holiness for Him, weak and failing as they are,
they are still my best.

When others seek to serve the Lord, for the Lord, with their skills,
then that help will be integrated because it will integrate in the
way of love and offering and peace, and not from some other source.

Most other people do not agree with you about your beliefs. That does
not mean they are working against you, or against your god. As far as
they are concerned, your god does not exist - they don't work against
him any more than they work against the Martians. The world - and
people - are not as black-or-white as you think.

You can listen to my philosophy in this video I recorded back in
2012. It begins about 35 minutes into the video, and was a total
surprise to me when I recorded it. Unplanned, it's summed up my whole
thinking nicely:

You may understand if you listen.

I keep hoping and praying others will come on board and help. We are
stronger together than apart, but it must be for the Lord and not for
other reasons.

Julio, you and others here speak in generalizations. You blanket-categorize
someone like me into your own thinking without coming to search or pursue
the details or facts about an individual's actual beliefs, or what the Bible
actually teaches.

This is a tool the enemy uses to make it easier for people to disregard the
legitimate Christians teaching people the truth about the Bible, because the
generalization allows them to be lumped into the common category with people
who are clearly teaching or believing false things (with regards to the true
teachings of the Bible).

The enemy hopes people will generalize and only glance at the surface and
then discount the entire thing by what it appears to be in your own thinking,
and not in the actual details, so that you can remain where you are in your
ignorant and uninformed position.

What the Bible teaches, what true Christians teach, is different from what
most mainstream Christian positions are, and especially so in America where
there are people mocking God each day by calling themselves Christians yet
living like the rest of the world does.

Being a Christian, being saved, being the true called of God, truly means
something. It changes a person to have that new spirit life input into
their own life, and the guidance of God's Holy Spirit. It's a true and
serious calling, and that's the true and serious calling I point people
to, and pursue with great effort in my life.

You should read the writings of Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield and
Charles Spurgeon. They've been dead a long time, yet the tone of their
writings rings out in the hearts of born again Christians today with such
fire and passion ... their writings and words align with our core even in
this modern world.

-----
Satan uses many tools to trap people into disbelief. There is one path,
the narrow path, entered in at the narrow gate, which is of Christ and
leads to Christ. But there are many other paths leading in many other
directions, all of which Satan owns.

No matter what your interests are ... if they are not first focused on
Christ, you are on the path to Hell. The good news (the "gospel") is
that it doesn't have to be that way. Jesus came to save all people. He
even came to save the sinners.

It breaks a Christian's heart to see the enemy's stronghold so tightly
gripped around a person's soul. I used to be one of them, but God reached
into my life and changed me. If He can turn around a hard heart like mine
being against Him to such a degree, He can do the same for anyone.

It really is new life. Spirit life. The old passes away. The new is here.

If you are serious about your plonk, you won't be reading this - but I
know some people use "plonk" as a threat rather actually carrying it out.

I am completely at a loss to figure out what you mean here. I said that
most people do not agree with Rick's beliefs - that is simple fact. And
I said this does not mean they are against him or his god - that is also
simple fact, but it is one that causes Rick a good deal of trouble.

How you see that as being related to American politics or nationalism is
beyond my comprehension. Would it help if I pointed out that I am not
American, nor do I live there or have anything to do with that country?

Exactly. I would never bring a corrupt offering. That is why I have given the advice I have given, to help you with your offering so it will not be corrupt, rather perfect.

I do worship perfection. It has always been a goal in my life. You may denigrate my ideals, but that does not matter to me. I have largely met my goals and been able to offer what is whole and good.

Also, my name is "Rick," Rick C. Not Rich. Not Richard. I have
never posted using those names, so you disrespect me by your twist.

No disrespect. I thought your given name was Richard, I stand corrected.

Do you have any non-worldly-focused goals, Rick C? Or is it all just
a job to you?

It has never been just a job to me and I have had a hard time keeping a job because of that. Instead I had to find my own way by learning from others and using their knowledge in ways that worked for me. In the end I found my own path and have been following it to very happy conclusions.

That joke is a poor example because it's obvious the
Lord answered his prayer by sending him help to save his life.

The Lord sent help, but he didn't recognize that the help was sent by God and so was rejected, much as you reject the help you are offered because you don't recognize the value in the help and instead try to get us to learn what you have figured out, even though it is very incomplete and not likely to rescue you from your morass.

Nonetheless,
there are times you stay on the figurative roof and drown rather than
partake of worldly sin.

There was nothing unholy in the joke. All the potential salvations were sent by the Lord yet ignored.

Don't make the same mistake thinking no one else is uncorrupted enough to help you.

Rick C.
