Projects

Highlights of past and current projects. Many of these were developed before the inception of the blog, so they have been memorialized here.

(You may notice that I have both SourceHut and GitHub links. As of 2024, I am hosting new projects on SourceHut. Many previous projects are still on GitHub, but will eventually be migrated over - in particular, if/when I start working on the project again. I will still maintain my GitHub profile for redirection purposes, and for the forks that I use to collaborate on other GitHub projects.)

This blog

Started 2024-05 - I've tried to start a blog at least 3 times before, and never really knew what I wanted to write about. But recently, I've recognized how much I write about my projects in private. This website is my attempt to start documenting them in public, instead of scattering all that information across multiple chatrooms. It's also the perfect spot to build a portfolio of my favorite projects.

Since starting full-time work in 2022, I've also found that I've "finished" less projects. Partly, I think the projects that could eventually be considered finished are not moving as quickly. Another factor is that I've taken on some long-term hobbies like amateur radio. Those are never finished; I still make progress, build new stations, etc, but the milestones are not as clear. Blogging about my activities on a weekly or monthly basis can help me track the progression of those things.
