print_number() - an alternative for sprintf()

In most situations this probably falls clearly into the category of premature optimization, but if you need that extra ounce of efficiency in a situation where you're converting a numeric value into its ascii equivalent via sprintf(), you might find this print_number() solution useful. It has precisely

T-SPLOST

It was my pleasure and privilege this morning to vote NO on T-SPLOST. I hope you did the same.

Granny is no Slouch

I've been biking at the Greenway instead of in the mountains while I wait for my replacement brakes. My current Avid BB5's are no longer trustworthy enough to slow me down on some of the hills/corners. Meanwhile I also swapped out the Shimano M324 pedals

Three Gap

For a couple years now I've done this 3-gap ride up North, which includes Woody Gap, Wolfpen Gap and finally Neel Gap. Having recently learned of the "elevation profile" feature of Google Earth, I grabbed my GPS and loaded the last ride. I've heard

Dear Sir, It is my hope that one day you'll decide to Google your license plate and that you'll find this blog post. I'm sorry that my bicycle descent from Neel Gap wasn't fast enough for you. Because you held down your

T-Minus Seven Days

Seven short days until take-off. I've pulled the rope out of storage. I could probably almost set up a 5-to-1 pulley blind-folded. (Let's hope that particular skill isn't put to the test.) I customized my new backpack with an attachment on each side, onto

Fooooood

The final detail - meal planning - is done. We're going to bring roughly twenty-two days of food that we can stretch out to twenty-five. There won't be any pancakes, bacon and maple syrup breakfasts this year but it'll still be decent food. It
