Contiki on Ethernut

Posted by michael on from the goodbye-contiki-web-server-nice-knowing-you dept.

randomErr writes "Many of you may remember Contiki, the OS and GUI for the C64 and many other 8 bit platforms, which was posted on Slashdot in March. Adam Dunkels has ported Contiki to a more modern platorm: the open source Ethernut board. You can also see the working webserver and VNC server."

    I think most of the slowness comes from lazynes. Designers use DBs for everything, even pages that never change. I honestly belive a lot of web apps out there that use huge-ass systems could easily be run on a normal PC with some good optimization and caching routines.

    Almost like David vs. Goliath, except in this case, David has two broken arms, no legs, 3 gunshot wounds center mass, and massive blunt trauma to the head. And Goliath is a hungry T-Rex.

    A T-Rex relies on motion to identify possible meat sources. Your David would be completely immobile. (Of course, after a good Slashdotting, so it the average web server.)

    There is no -1 unfunny rating.
    I assume you were trying to be funny by deliberately misunderstanding the topic. I get bored of seeing those posts to be honest.
    If you want to be witty please try harder, you are currently at the "In soviet russia" level.
