<=====------======------===[ Catch-Up ]===------======------=====> It's been a while since the last time I wrote anything here, and the truth is that it's simply because I've been doing so much but never felt like I really had enough of one particular subject to write about. But that's somewhat of a silly thought, given that my intention was just to talk here about whatever is interesting to me at any given time, so I'm writing this post anyway. I have been learning a lot of things in the past couple months, but I've lacked a strong direction in that learning. The result is that I've had my brain split between many different topics and have been struggling to juggle them accordingly. For one, I've recently obtained a Timex Sinclair 1000 after going on quite the rabbit hole about them. I'm not going to talk too much about that, though, because I have a very specific plan for it that I don't want to speak of lest I curse it. Regardless, I've also made decent headway on a C re-implementation of ~ATH, although at the current rate it will be a while yet until I finish. I've learned a lot already, however, and I've become rather confident with C. The really dangerous and somewhat ridiculous rabbit hole I've been chasing, however, is that of digital design. It's a field I will never truly understand without dedicating years to it, and yet I find myself wanting to try anyway. It has provided me with some good reading material, at least. I'm using Advent of Code this year as an excuse to learn Go. It is a language I have been curious about for a long time, and I really ought to be familiar with a language that offers more ease and flexibility than C does. I've started reading Learning Go as part of this, and it's been very good thus far. I am increasingly enjoying reading computer science books in general. In any case, I'll try to write these more often again from here on out. ruleofsix 2024/12/01 <=====------======------======------======------======------=====>
