Now

Yet another netizen’s “now” page which will fall out-of-date within two weeks.

Project Sanity continues apace although I should have picked a better name for it. I fought a war against refmaps and won, so it compiled its first production-ready mods. Maybe I’ll even be able to release a few of this new generation of my mods, sooner rather than later.

Installed Linux Mint on my laptop in preparation for the upcoming Windows 10 decommissioning. I think it’s pretty great, surprised I didn’t do this sooner. Everything feels faster.

Playing some mostly-vanilla Minecraft to unwind. It’s been a long time since I just played Minecraft and enjoyed it for what it is. I feel a bit inspired again!

Scheduled for classes. Mostly non-CS electives this time. Feeling somewhat mentally well, for once, although the situation at home isn’t much better.

Putting modded MC projects on hold for now due to… a family situation unfolding at home.

For today’s project, thinking about working on finally decomissioning the highlysuspect.agency blog engine, and getting all the old blog posts over here.

My back feels better?

Went to Anthrocon. It was good! I need more time/energy to collect thoughts.

The monorepo continues to shamble along. The config API I was cooking is mostly complete (or at least “good enough”). I developed a few small mods inside it, but can’t release them yet because mixin refmaps are a big problem, have some ideas to work around it though. I also need to organize the buildscript code a little better. Again.

It feels like the monorepo is a place I’ll find many of the right ideas for toybox (my attempt to burn modded minecraft tooling to the ground). Having a real project that forces me to work piecemeal isn’t a bad way to find out what pieces I need for the meal.

Lately I’ve been feeling physically tired without much motivation to work on it though. I played video games on my DS and watched youtube videos and largely feel like I wasted my time. My back hurts.

The mods monorepo project is coming together, slowly. Yak shaving a full-featured config API i can use across fabric and forge, and yak shaving a custom file format to use because JSON sucks and TOML also sucks. Looking forward to integrating all the random tiny things that end up copy-pasted across all my projects.

Although I haven’t worked on it lately because i’m distracted by Anthrocon packing. Leaving for anthrocon tomorrow! wow !

It’s coming up on the end of “the semester I didn’t take”… I didn’t sign up for summer classes and took a break instead, which I am regretting. I think the break was useful for the first week or two but now I am going stir crazy. At least it freed up some time to attend Anthrocon later?

Working on-and-off on modded Minecraft projects, including “project sanity”, an experiment in building the necessary tooling to work on Minecraft mods in a “monorepo” to facilitate code-sharing and cut down on development headaches. My mental health (and consequently my work ethic) have plummeted recently, but this project is one that I am enjoying returning to.

I felt the need to pencil-push the CSS on this website. I fixed a longstanding issue with codeblock coloring, tweaked the spacing, and now the footer is a little nicer I guess.
