I've been working a lot of some games in Python and Panda3D. I want to make somethingusing the joy cons as motion controls. Also been looking into stackless Python for a text based multiplayer game I'm working on.

I need to update my website at some point its been a while.

I believe I can do and build anything, but I'm out of juice. Working as a consultant, but no extra energy or will to create anything outside of work. Kids are getting bigger, and I have time.... but no will, or maybe it's just fear, to start anything.

What are you curious about?

A VR game. Still in the concept phase though. It'll be free as it's only a hobby project. It might never materialise but it doesn't matter. Most of the reward is in the process and the learning opportunities.

For work I'm working on AI implementation. Because the vendor does all the technical goodness I'm kinda bored. It's also quite a crap solution IMO and we're kinda forced to be all positive about it because the vendor is closely watching and they have a lot of buyin from the top.

I set up a local LLM server too just to feel like I'm actually doing something.

I'm working on converting a jukebox to use a raspberry pi. I want to keep using the numberpad to pick the tracks and none of the existing solutions that i've found seem to do that. I don't have any experience with python and very little with linux so it has been an experience.

Making fingerboards. Little skateboards you can do tricks with. I'm always fingerboarding at work when I take a break from programming. It's a ton of fun, especially writing Fusion 360 scripts to do all the parametric modeling of decks and molds. Then 3D printing molds with different parameters, pressing decks with veneer, making art for the decks, packaging, etc. It's an incredibly niche hobby but I've always found…

This sounds fascinating and I'm glad you found a niche that you enjoy!

I'm working on a web scraper to assist myself and a friend in booking courts for our sports activities. It helps book the courts when they are released at 12am. This means we can get back to sleeping at reasonable times. We have a long term booking, but don't always require two courts.

On other things, I've been playing with rustlang. Looking to build something with it.
