What I'm up to right now!
-
After a five+ month hiatus, I’ve started back up on the Hiss game builder project. I’ll probably just keep quietly working on it (and updating the dev log) until I’m done.
-
I’ve also been learning SNOBOL - here’s a card: start-snobol
-
There have been more updates in the cards.
-
I have been playing more videogames to pass the time. I made a card with my notes on my Linux gaming setup: arch-gaming
All of the above is true, but right now (the twilight of this accursed year, 2024) I’m allowing myself to take meandering paths through the garden of my TODOs rather than forcing myself to go straight for the accomplishments. This has pros and cons.
To keep track (literally, to not let myself forget where I was at on these things), here’s my current plans:
-
Hiss - "code complete" but am writing documentation
-
Want to make a little web-based SVG editor to make super-tiny graphics to embed in the Hiss documentation. I can make these in Inkscape, but it’s really hard to get just right and often still requires a lot of manual editing of the image source.
-
-
Learn Snobol - DONE! but now I need to document what I did
-
Document what I learned about Snobol
-
Document/release the repo for Snobol4th - my Forth in Snobol!
-
Document what I learned about implementing another Forth
-
-
Moving some of my personal infrastructure (including this website) to OpenBSD
-
Get my https://openbsd.amsterdam/ account up and running at my subdomain http://openbsd.ratfactor.com/ (and decomission my Vultr account that it currently points to)
-
Get my CGI/fastcgi/whatever setup squared away so I can build my mini friends-and-family social site going
-
-
Next "Assembly Nights" project
-
Starting with the arm compiler book I’ve re-started (Keleshev) on the Pocket Reform
-
What is this page, anyway?
I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while and when I ran across Derek Sivers’s concept of the "/now" page, I knew I had to jump on board. Read more at nownownow.com!
It’s now 2023, two years after I joined the trend and I’m seeing "Now" pages on a lot of the personal websites I’m visiting. I think that’s totally awesome. The personal Web is alive and well!
