I should take a fresh inventory of my cursed tech ideas because I'm pretty sure I have at least one for every layer of computer science now.
I walked to the pharmacy back and here's a nonexhaustive list:
- Hardware, boardfab Level
- PETI, my ongoing virtual pet development project
- Unnamed MSP430-based minicomputer project
- The someone has made this a product already project: a modular-like-rackmount desktop simulator controllers thing
- The actual eurorack I started building two years ago.
- Hardware, cobble together level:
- The briefcase cyberdeck I designed the Model II keyboard to work with
- Refinement work on the Model II
- Software:
- Genuinely considering switching to a text-focused desktop environment (while retaining the ability to launch a few graphics mode tools and games, natch
- HoroHoro, my astrological wallpaper "generator" that involved exactly no "generative" technology of any kind.
- The PETI IDE that I keep threatening to build as a "friendliness" layer to would-be codevs.
- Network:
- Still want a NAS
- Still want a TTL-and-relays smarthome system
