Learned to play the first bit of Verrat on the HXCSTR
(the piano part in the first 20 seconds).
Surprisingly easy! The rest has been much harder. TODO: upload a quick video
Started working on updating knus (forked from the unmaintained knuffel)
to KDL 2.0.
Keep up with my progress here.
I've still got a long way to go, but a lot of the "main" features are implemented (bare identifier string arguments,
new keywords).
I'm still a bit bummed that the proposal to remove / from reserved identifier
characters didn't pan out, but such is life.
tlature (apparently people pronounce it as "lature" when I format it as ↹lature)
Bumped kdl dependency to 6.0.0 (implementing KDL 2.0)
Lots of refactoring, as usual
Added some audio and event metering functionality
Added a plugin logger view
Wrote my first proc macro to make a "splittable" trait derive that implements a trait allowing a structure to be
split into main and audio thread versions.
02 - February
Been exploring a game concept for a turn-based tower defence.
Explored a couple different game engines because I was tired of bevy compile times.
Ended up settling on macroquad.
Revived tacticum because it seemed to be a good fit.
Phở - pretty good, but I have lots of notes for next time
03 - March
Got a bowl at a local makers market
Used my newly made cheese press to make paneer from nearly expired milk.
It smelled a little sour and the yield was pretty low, but it tasted great, and the texture was almost perfect (maybe a
little bit harder next time).
Made my own cheesecloth to use with the cheese press (literally just a square of muslin with a hem)
Set up a used Mac Mini to use with AirMessage.
It doesn't work yet, but I feel like I'm close.
Also, I want to modify the Mac Mini to use PoE, so I'm exploring some higher power PoE modules.
Did a bunch of clerical stuff for crofu:
Contacted a lawyer about incorporating and stuff
Gave me a recommendation for an accountant
Contacted an accountant about tax implications
Haven't heard back yet
Renewed my LetsEncrypt certificate
It was really quick once I figured it out
I should probably document it here
I think it also added a cronjob to renew it automatically
Made a script that pulls embedded images out of an inkscape file.
Should be better in terms of file space, but doesn't seem to have a big impact on load times.
Continued work on knus.
Things are slow, but hopefully I get them done soon.
Did a ton more practice on the HXCSTR
Made some Palak Paneer, and it turned out better than before, but it's not quite all the way there yet
04 - April
Played Twilight Imperium with some friends. I didn't win, but I did pretty well for my first time.
Been reading various books, but none have really hooked me yet.
Refactored crofu to use a different ID. I switched from 128 bit UUIDs to a 64 bit bigint. (Read
more)
Learned to make shokupan. Followed this Serious Eats recipe, and it's the best bread I've ever made in my life. Also
fried some of it to make donuts, which are also really good.
Modded my Mac Mini to use PoE as I alluded in last months log. It was pretty easy, and a surprisingly bearable
experience.
Practiced a ton of HXCSTR, this time for the third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I'm at the point where I
can play the first 8 measures reliably at about half speed. It's probably the toughest thing I've learned to play,
partially just because it's so long, but it's also been a lot of fun.
Made a script for saving local copies of Mastodon posts
A bit of exploration of ch32 ethernet capabilities (basically replicating this ch32-hal PR)
