I just released the first alpha version of my RISC-V hobby kernel, written in Ada: https://github.com/ajxs/straylight

My next step is documenting how all of the subsystems work (such as virtual memory, allocators, drivers, etc.), then lay the project to rest. I don't have any grand ambitions for the kernel. The project was just a labor of love, and a way to learn some interesting things! Hopefully some of the documentation can serve as learning material for other people interested in osdev.

I'm working on porting KiCad to the browser. It's a lot of sweat and tears, multithreading issues and some more sweat. I've updated a port of WxWidgets and now I support all the features KiCad needs with ~200 tests. Right now I have a build that loads in the browser, but I really want to have "multithreading" which means workers in the web. One can use asyncify with emscripten to translate blocking C++ to WASM, but t…

Awesome Project! Would love to hear more!

I'm working on hand-building mugs. Throwing clay around in a studio, etc.

But I'm also thinking about it as a product manager based on my tech experience. Looking at what people like in mugs, creating templates to exactly size the mugs to people's preferences, creating re-usable molds to put repeatable components together, and taking detailed notes on exactly what I am doing in-studio to create a repeatable, reliable process to create a product that will sell.

It is going poorly so far, but each iteration gets better, so hopefully I have everything down before I end up with 100+ unsellable mugs in my kitchen.

Building an app that scans file systems prior to being migrated into M365. Looks for common governance issues and file and folder trees that won’t play nice in SharePoint. Not a migration tool as such, just something to scratch a consultancy itch. Python and Tkinter for now until I hit something that requires more complexity. Also a command line version that I’ll use more often. This probably could have been a PowerShell script but this is more fun.

I'm working on "Cargo but for C". It started out as something marginally more useful than vendoring your dependencies as submodules + baking in the knowledge of how to build a bunch of common projects. I realized, though, that there was somehow a huge gap in the insane world of C build tools. There's nothing that: - Lets you pin really precisely and builds everything from source (i.e. no binary repository) - Does not…

Please post it here when it's ready! I'd absolutely be interested in seeing it.
