In an effort to keep some sort of regular cadence in posting, I feel like I need to keep writing even if I might not have much to say in a given moment. I want to avoid talking about work directly for a number of reasons but mostly because I don't want to turn my writing into an on-going gripe-fest.
I also fear that I don't have much to say, personally. I could talk about personal projects and what difficulties I encounter and how I feel about that though I can't imagine that would be terribly interesting for many people to read through. After all, there are many people writing about programming so what could I possibly add?
For now, I am still working on writing a tool that most likely only I will have an interest in, given that the thing I wish to accomplish is to create bootable disk images in userland for older x86 machines/emulators. Technically the set of utilities I am making now is the second implementation since I started trying to write something in Java last year and set that aside.
Trying to do something new outside of tech stacks I am familiar with is interesting, though the main problem I am running into is I have no idea what I am doing and also I don't know what resources I should consult to fix that in this particular case. I suppose I will have to continue by the seat of my pants.
