A public notebook. Not polished posts, just honest notes on what I am building, thinking about and planning. Updated as things change.
Shorter, faster notes live on the TIL page: snippets from things I discover day to day.
14 notes
Recording lectures with the slides open in Genio Notes, marking the moments that matter, writing my own notes and lab reports and photographing lab setups. The habits that make lectures and labs workable for me.
Why my ThinkPad now dual boots Windows 11 and Fedora KDE Plasma, what I kept from Windows and how the whole setup is saved so the next laptop is quick to build.
The books I am working through this term: FPGAs, embedded design, machine learning, security, faith, music and one novel I should have read years ago. Why each one is on the list.
Lectures, labs, a weekly PAL session, two elected roles and several projects all share the same seven days. This is the structure that stops them fighting each other.
Autumn is about balance: a heavy term of modules, three roles on campus and the projects I care about, while I line up a placement for next year.
A sourced look at every route to restoring sight in a missing eye: prosthetic eyes, retinal implants, cortical implants and whole-eye transplant. What exists today, what is experimental and what is still only a research goal.
The week before term starts is the best time to set up the structure that will carry me through it. What I do before the first lecture.
Code records what a system does. The reasons behind it disappear unless someone writes them down. How I keep short decision notes for my projects.
The World Cup 2026 predictor didn't ship in time for the tournament (Spain won it), so I'm generalising the idea into an open-ended multi-sport prediction platform: football, basketball, tennis, cricket, motorsport, rugby, athletics and volleyball, with more sports added over time.
I have more ideas than time. The few questions I ask before any idea gets real hours.
Summer is the longest stretch of time I get all year. My plan for it: building things that matter and documenting them properly.
The landscape of tools for automatically pushing accepted solutions from Codeforces, AtCoder, LeetCode and TryHackMe to GitHub - what exists, what is missing and what I want to build.
A small habit that started this month: writing down one thing I learned, the day I learned it. Why it works better than notes I mean to tidy up later.
A personal research interest in ocular prosthetics, bionic vision and bio-integrated electronics, motivated by losing sight in one eye to retinoblastoma.
What I am building now and the projects I want to build next are on the Now page.
