#72I'm working on my hobby operating system written in Rust. It is completely text-based, but the console was lacking a scrollback buffer until this week. It's a simple feature, really, but having to redirect anything that outputs more than one screen to a file to read it was a pain. I'm happy to finally have it!
This weekend, I also made good progress on user-space memory and found a workaround for some issues I had. I still need to implement it the right way, though. After a few years on the project, the thing that is giving me the most trouble is grokking the concept of page tables.

#74A real-time interface for my Fantasy Premier League… league. It calculates point totals up to the minute, which the official app lacks for some reason (can take hours for final point tallies).
It’s mostly an excuse to play with data processing with duckdb, remote APIs, and Pocketbase.

#75Getting my historical fiction novel published. I finished writing it a couple of months back. Extremely short plot summary: guy deserts from the Roman XI legion, goes back home only to find that his entire province is about to revolt against the Roman Empire at the height of its power. It's one of the most spectacular feats of collective self-immolation in human history and it had a large effect on human history.
I think not enough has been written about the role of abject stupidity in human affairs. This book is an attempt to correct that.

#76A scavenger hunting app for couples. I have it working but I'm trying to figure out the gamification aspect.

#77A native MacOS menu bar app that gives you a deep breathing reminder every hour: https://github.com/p44v9n/deepbreath/releases/tag/v0.0.4
Functional but a few small bugs to iron out, then want to get a nicer welcome screen up and submit to the Apple App Store. Would love any feedback!

#78I'm building a greenhouse. The frame is done, and I've got plastic and a door on it. Next, I'd like to build boxes to hold soil and allow for easy watering.
This sounds so nice!

I've ever fallen down, but am now coming up for air.
