Well, let's see...
-Gain some sort of indefinitely sustainable autonomy, rather than the weird limbo I'm in now
-Make real music and a few other pieces of art, somehow, finally
-Proper grasp of FPGA design
-Become a good C programmer instead of a mediocre one
-Leave US if I can?
This is surprisingly slim... Guess the last decade tempered my expectations. |

Very happy to see ATDI. Loved RoC for 11 years, no less now.
I'm too tired to remember anything more right now, but Harold Budd - The Serpent definitely needs a place on mine. |

Couple things actually. Cheap Fujitsu MX130 and not-cheap drives (3x8TB WD purple, the SMR fiasco made selecting drive model a bit annoying), stuck FreeBSD on it. Wanted more backup redundancy.
Other thing is a new bike light -- Fenix BC30, which can do 1200 lumens and takes standard 18650 cells instead of some proprietary thing you can only charge through USB that'll wear out on you with no recourse. The body is solid metal and it's survived a bit of rough treatment already. Moon Comet X Pro for the rear, which sadly doesn't have a replaceable battery, but is much cheaper and gives very good visibility... Lots of night rides behind me already and many more to come. |

| Been a bit, but seeing the thread reminded me of it: I recently dreamt I was on a journey somewhere with a tiny...terrier? or some other kind of small white dog, and ended up on a town in the middle of an open, grassy plain in the midwest. I immediately realized something was wrong there, but had to stop to buy the dog toothpaste, and it was almost sunset by the time I found someone who told me the residents were possessed by the spirits of the dead at night. I remember wandering around trying to avoid people and being accosted multiple times by people trying to pull me into bars and the like, but not how it ended. There were almost no roads, and people just walked everywhere -- probably the least midwest-esque part. |

The anime is a few small, excerpted pieces of the manga. It's good, but I wouldn't watch it on its own unless you intend to read the manga, because the manga covers orders of magnitude more (and is beautifully drawn, too). I would encourage you to read the manga though, I don't think you'd regret it. |

I've got a Fender Sonoran SCE the action is a bit high on, and a violin I've not played seriously in over 10 years. Eyeing a drum machine and MIDI controller, but life needs to stabilize a little first.
I was passable at violin, barre chords on the guitar defeated me. |
