How much progress have you made since last time? What new ideas have you stumbled upon, what old ideas have you abandoned? What new projects have you started? What are you working on?
Once again, feel free to share anything you’ve been working on, old or new, simple or complex, tiny or huge, whether you want to share and discuss it, or simply brag about it - or just about anything you feel like sharing!
The monthly thread is the place for you to engage /c/programming_languages on things that you might not have wanted to put up a post for - progress, ideas, maybe even a slick new chair you built in your garage. Share your projects and thoughts on others’ ideas, and most importantly, have a great and productive month!
You mentioned stuff built in the shop so…
Programming is a winter activity for me. Summer is for being on the water and in the shop. I used to use my boat trailer as a general cargo hauler, so I needed a way to get the boat on and off the trailer. To that end, I built a platform at trailer height that I could use to store the boat.
Now I have a proper pickup truck, so I’ve converted that boat stand to a cutting station. The large surface area is good for sheet goods. I installed a lowered platform for my mitre saw. It works like a charm and keeps the worst of the dust out of my shop. Now the only indoor power tools are my bandsaw and drill press, which are trivial to collect dust from. Next up are cabinet stands for those tools and a new workbench.
Back to programming, my winter plans are to finally figure out a workflow to keep Charm up to date so I can play with it (I’m new to git). Then start tracking down free or inexpensive resources to study programming language theory.
