A different sort of meme
(Note to non-French speakers: as with every meme that I do, the title of this meme-related post is meant to be a play on the French word même, meaning "same".)
It's been a long time since someone has tagged me on a meme. This may reflect my pitifully inconsistent blogging, the shortage of really good memes, or it may be indicative of nothing more than the sheer randomness that is the cosmos.
Anyway, the current meme in question is called the "Really Good Meme" (haha, now you get the joke above). Jeff received it from the other Michael (apparently, Jeff is cheating on me), and now it is my turn.
The rules of the meme are simple, which is good, because I hate to have to think too hard:
1) Open the nearest book to page 123.
2) Post sentences 6, 7, and 8 from that page.
3) Tag five others.
Seeing as I'm at work, and the nearest book is a computer architecture manual, this is likely going to be the most boring instance of this meme ever. If anyone truly requests, I can update with the actual interesting pleasure reading I'm currently partaking in at home (A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore).
Without further ado, here goes:
In an interesting twist of fate, that was a) exactly one paragraph, and b) somewhat the bane of my existence for a brief period about five months ago.
Jeff pretty much tagged most of my readership, but I'll pass it along to Aaron C., David (whose link I really need to update), Bradley (who may or may not ever read this blog), Zhubin (ditto), and Meredith (whose recent absence from the blogosphere I can only assume is attributed to wedding-related activities). Bonus tags go to Dan (who hasn't blogged for a year and may or may not currently be alive) and Yaz (whose excitedly-begun website has been remarkably devoid of updates, which is probably the fault of "Rock Band").
And since you're all probably tired of parenthetical remarks (one of my admitted crutches while writing), I'll shut up now.
Song lyric of the day:
"You’re feeling hopeless
And all your dreams have gone away
Take the time to heal your sorrows
And disappear from the world
Live for tomorrow"

Without further ado, here goes:
If you switch on the vectored interrupt feature, an interrupt exception will start at one of the eight addresses according to the interrupt signal that caused it. That's slightly ambiguous: There's nothing to stop two interrupts being active at once, so the hardware uses the highest-numbered interrupt signal, which is both active and enabled. Vectored interrupts are set up by programming IntCtl(VS), which gives you a few choices as to the spacing between the different entry points (a zero causes all interrupts to use the same entry point, as was traditional).

The nearest book is The Sweet Spot: Asian Inspired Desserts, by Pichet Ong. The page in question is nothing but a large, dark photo of a round, white, plate that has been eaten on. Remaining on the plate is a fork, and underneath (and on) the fork are a bunch of crumbs and smears of a creamy substance. There is also large text, in white, that reads "Pies & Tarts," thereby introducing the next section of the book. So there you have it. The text you've requested is nothing more than that:
Pies & Tarts
