You may (or ay not) have noticed, development has come to a halt for the past -few weeks, I'm writing here to announce that I an not dead and I did not forget -about any of my projects. With the lockdown, university and general motivation -going down it is very rare to find myself in the mood to bash my head at a -monitor. But worry not because I still have many ideas for new projects and -impovements to existing ones, it's just that I really don't find the time to -develop that much. During this time I've been trying to make an userspace audio -device for ALSA, this is the first building block for my next big project. I did -not do anything else in the background as I reaaly want to focus on this for the -moment and due to the lacking documentation about this sort of stuff, it is -taking longer than I have anticipated. -To be honest tough I have been playing a lot of modded minecraft and overwatch -during this period, something I did not do when I was pushing something everyday.
- -As of when I will get back on track I'd say in february at least, the holydays -are coming and that brings exams. Studying is becoming really hard and the load -is non trivial to say the least, so during this session I doubt I'll have time -to develop. That said if I do not manage to pass most of the exams I have due I -sincerely doubt I'll have the motivation to develop anyways so I better focus on -uni at the moment. -After february I have plans to get a PineBook Pro so I can test all my programs -on an ARM architecture as I feel that this industry should shift more towards -RISC instruction sets. I foresee myself focusing more on making my environment -truly my own and to do so I have the rest of my project ideas left, I will -write more on that another time. -I'd also like to invest time in hardware project as I'm studying Electronic -Engineering and that would be a waste to not use my skills in the sector, so -if anyone is interested (which I doubt there even is anyone reading) expect -something in the following months.
- -Please consider donating, I know it's lame, but I need it just for a confidence -bost, hell even a friendly email would cheer me up in this dire situation.
- -Have a good day
