Very cute. If, by chance, you really are named after the famous French forensics expert please link me to some sort of online presence I can use to verify who you are. Otherwise, pseudonyms are no more helpful than an anonymous gmail username, even for people who probably work in some sort of infosec capacity. :-)

Talk I did recently (think my name is on one of the slides): youtu.be

I hope it's understandable that I try to minimise my online presence - the work that I do is quite often misrepresented in the media, and on more than one occasion I've had people make threats to me, both across the internet and in person. Unfortunately, having a weird name makes it that much easier to find me.

Because of all this, I don't get as many opportunities to work on amazing community projects as I'd like. However after reading your contributions guidelines here, and being really impressed by what seemed to be a radically inclusive outlook on contributions, I thought you guys might be willing to accept some of my work, even lacking, as I am, a huge public presence - please prove me right!

Hi @L0C4RD and many thanks for your patience.

I completely understand and totally sympathise with your reasons for a low profile. I hope you, in turn, can see why I may also have been a tad paranoid about accepting contributions for code relating to a project aimed at kids from an anonymous third party.

Given the links you provided above I'm completely happy to accept your patch and any further contributions you may make!

I really enjoyed your presentation. It had me grinning like a Cheshire Cat. I have a few questions for you about the talk and I wonder if you might contact me via ntoll ntoll org.

Also, you're right about our intentions regarding contributions: radical inclusion is one way to say we want to work in a community that reflects all of us. Diversity is a strength!

Finally, there's a few things I want to fix in the code you've submitted. Did you make check..? ;-) There's a bunch of code style warnings that I've fixed locally on my machine. Also, there are some Python 2/3 compatibility issues (StringIO etc...).

Also, you've introduced a dependency on the third party IntelHex module. Does this need to be used? One of the "features" of uflash is that it's stand-alone so you could just drop the file into any other project (like Mu) and "it should just work" (tm).

Thoughts..?

Just noticed your email address in the AUTHORS file. I'll drop you a line.

Aha - I did not run make check! Apologies, I'll do that on my end and try to get those warnings cleaned up for you, along with those compatibility problems.

The IntelHex module was just a shortcut for quickly interpreting Intel Hex files, but everything it accomplishes can be achieved with a dict and some parsing code. I'll implement this and pop it into the next commit, so it shouldn't jeopardise uflash's standalone-ness. 😄

Great stuff and many thanks. Looking forward to the revised PR. :-)
