I built that little computer I mentioned in the last update
and it delights me. I made the case out of laser-cut 6.35mm
plywood primed and painted grey. It has made me reconsider
my computing environments (again!) -- and I have once again
relegated my `box` computer to the basement to operate
headless. That's the machine with the proper "oomph" for
things like Rust development etc and I'm running a headless
X at a reasonably low resolution so I can VNC into it.
Also, I became a citizen. That felt good and was emotional.
I didn't even mind the three hour wait at the passport
office to get my first Canadian passport. (Well, to apply
for it, it should be ready next Friday, so I can come back
from Ireland without problems).
I am feeling okay at the moment although the last few weeks
have been up and down for all sorts of reasons; family, my
mum, tiredness, imposter syndrome and general anxiety.
Here's to a calmer future, maybe.
