<p>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 <strong>lacking</strong> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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 <strong>my own</strong> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Have a good day </p>
