Who is this nutcase?

Broken Andy: Congratulations! You have stumbled upon my little, personal website either via invitation, happenstance, or a little thing I like to call “avoiding work.” No matter the means of self-indulgence that has brought you to my meager corner of the electronic tubes, poke around and see what strikes your fancy.

What is a Bus Error?

Within a computer, it is an attempt by the CPU to read from memory using an unaligned or non-existent memory address. While memory is byte addressable, modern day 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit processors are usually required to address memory on certain byte boundaries for reads greater than 1-byte. Because the boundaries are byte aligned, wrongly addressed memory in this fashion is more than a bit off. Get it! Yeah, not funny when it has be explained... anyway...

All that being said, if you really want wacky almost in an "Oh My God! This guy is dangerously disturbed!" kinda way, check out my guns and politics blog at In Search of the Tempestuous Sea.
