  I finished a p
roject today for
 the first time 
in a long time t
oday (https://sr
.ht/~nytpu/sbhk/
). I wrote about
 this in my cont
ribution to SMOL
zine 6 on Gemini
, but I have bee
n totally unable
 to finish (or e
ven start) any p
rojects lately. 
Usually I blame 
it on work or sc
hool, but both o
f those haven't 
been any sort of
 an issue, I've 
had abundant fre
e time lately, s
o I don't know w
hat the issue is
. Hopefully this
'll catalyse me 
to work on more 
stuff at least..

-I'm really enjo
ying writing C a
gain. Not that I
've really writt
en in any other 
"real" programmi
ng language rece
ntly, but I just
 haven't been pr
ogramming at all
. I'm currently 
working on a thi
ng to encode DTM
F tones, and it'
s interesting to
 work with libav
codec which I've
 never used befo
re. I do want to
 jump into Game 
Boy assembly aga
in but I also wa
nt to save my go
od game idea for
 when the Playda
te SDK is releas
ed. We'll see if
 I can hold out 
long enough.....

 I want to make 
a tri-posting ut
ility that will 
let me write gem
text and be able
 to port it to G
opher and HTTP. 
 I like Kineto f
or HTTP, but it'
s a little limit
ing on customiza
tion so I want t
o experiment wit
h something else
.  The main thin
g I got hung up 
on last time I t
ried working on 
something like t
his is that prog
rammatically gen
erating Gopherma
ps is really fuc
king hard.  Gene
rating the right
 item types and 
selectors from r
aw gemtext is ve
ry difficult.

 I'm getting a h
ankering to try 
out some sector 
art. Regular sec
tor art is borin
g though, you're
 just taking an 
image and downsc
aling it and cru
shing the colors
.  Instead, I'm 
talking about wr
iting a simple T
UI tool to let m
e write xterm co
lors directly to
 a raw binary fi
le so I can dire
ctly make sector
 pixel art witho
ut any dumb baby
 high-level help
er utilities oth
er than my homeb
rew one.........
