Walk N' Squawk

A lot has been written about AI and LLMs for the last year and a half (probably much longer).

As I've advanced in my career, I spend more and more time helping my team and others in adjacent teams with issues they're hitting.

Moving to Manjaro It's been a while since I mentioned changes I've made to my development setup, the last being related to moving to Kubuntu from Windows 10, as well as moving to using NeoVim as my editor with AstroNVim as the base configuration.

Earlier this year I made the switch from using C++ on my hobby projects to trying out Rust.

This time we'll continue from the last design article and add in the ability to drive multiple seven segment displays.

I've recently switched from using Visual Studio Code as my main editor of choice to using Neovim with the awesome Astronvim configuration and some of my own tweaks on top.

I've been succeeding in my fourth attempt at learning to use Rust.

It's been a while since the last article and I've recently come back to playing with my FPGA repo.

As I mentioned in the last blog post I recently switched my laptop over to using Linux as my main OS from Windows 10.

About a week ago, I decided to give another go at using Linux as my primary OS.

Last time we took a break from Verilog and hardware design to improve our build system.

It's been a while since the last article, but it was well received so thanks to everyone for the great feedback!

Over the last few years I've gotten more interested in electronics and FPGA design.

Recently, I learned about a feature in C and C++ that I hadn't run into before: bit widths for fields in structures.

I was thinking recently about the different things I choose to do in my free time and which ones bring me the most enjoyment.

I've been working on a project where I wanted to embed an SFML drawing context in a wxWidgets window.

I've been away from blogging for a few months and haven't had much time for personal projects either.

I love learning languages and I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Japanese.

I finally got around to setting up HTTPS with a free TLS certificate for the blog.

While working on a Xamarin.Forms based project I ran into the issue of wanting to have multiple builds of my android app differentiated by the build configuration.

Just a quick note this time.

Lately I've been doing a lot of elixir and phoenix programming while working on some hobby projects.

A few years ago I was inspired to hack around on some of my old favorite NES games after watching the video from Double Fine where the developer Brandon Dillon hacks around on the original Legend of Zelda.

This was my first time setting up a blog on GitLab and it was a very easy process.
