heya! checking in again. i have finished my bachelor's degree, right on time! i also got accepted for a 2 year long master's program, which i'll try to do in 1.5 :P. also, i updated my linkedin and cv, the latter now being over a page long, which sucks right until the point where i can fill the second page as well.
i've been working on writing a kernel for the raspberry pi in rust (and assembly, of course, there's no escape from good old assembly). it runs perfectly in qemu (my emulator of choice), but of course it doesn't even boot on actual hardware. or, at least i think it doesn't, but i wouldn't actually know until it sends a signal over uart. it's not easy to figure out the problem when i don't even know if it is an initialization problem, a gpio problem, or an uart problem. i'm assuming it's gpio because that's the only part that doesn't get tested in qemu. we'll see.
i'm very annoyed with macos at this point. insanely buggy since the last (15.2) update, especially regarding networking. i am soo looking forward to having a code editor, a pdf reader, and some llm api wrapper up and running on my custom kernel, so i don't have to use the bloated spaghetti-code mess that modern operating systems have become. i'm hopeful that this project keeps making enough sense to continue long enough for this to happen. once again, we'll see.
hey. send me a message if you're reading this, i'd love to hear how you are, or, if we don't know each other, what your story is.

i've re-written the website! well, almost; i still need to finish the system that will allow me to actually publish my notes. i'd love for them to finally see some daylight. regarding the website, i'm proud of this version, but i'm sure there are still a lot of areas of improvement. if you see any, please send me an email.
i've submitted my thesis a few days ago. now the only thing separating me from a degree is the final exam. after that, i plan to attend various research programs and learning opportunities, some of which are already confirmed.
right now, i'm resting, studying for my last exam here, working on my projects, and participating in advent of code in rust (i've written a cool framework for it, check it out on github).
i've also been dealing with addiction, and have been extensively researching the topic. it's so interesting how my adhd and my childhood trauma combine into such a strong pull towards escapism. if you want to discuss the topic, feel free to send me a message.
