June

This year is turning out to be a heavy one. Not for any particular reason of hard times or deep topics, just the slow grind of too much sliding its way into my limited time and energy. The responsibilities have climbed, but my shoulders a bit fucked right now due to pointlessly falling over in a car park while carrying my daughter to A&E, so I've not been able to pull myself up to meet those responsibilities.

Jokes aside, however poor, I've realised that I've just been all over the place. I've consistently been working on personal projects all year but because there's been little to no focus, nothing has really progressed. This website is at least a static site generator written in Odin, which is lovely. I also used an LLM to rewrite Swell in Odin, then spent weeks unfucking the mess it had made of the memory allocations, which was a taxing but hugely rewarding experience. But the main project which is actually starting to look more like it could go somewhere, and was supposed to be my focus for the year, has sat idle by the wayside, waiting for me to actually dedicate the time to it.
