Now

What I'm doing at the moment. See this page for more on now pages

General

Coding

I've taken a break from stellar-enigma for now. I have a functional Gtk4 editor, albeit without any preview features.

Cipherlang-rs (the rust implementation of cipherlang) has now surpassed the original implementation, feature-wise. Many new features, like external transforms have now been implemented. I'm working on creating a formal specification and planning the features of Cipherlang v2. It will feature some revisions to the grammar.

Books

I haven't read many books over the last few years, so I'm trying to change that. I just finished 'Tracers in the Dark', by Andy Greenberg. (I listened to the audiobook). It is a non-fiction tale centering around investigators, who took down kingpins of dark-web cybercrime by tracing the blockchain. (It is much more engaging than my description makes it seem). It is an excellent book. I'll probably set up a reading list at some point.

Music

Jim Kirkwood dropped a new album recently, and it's great. (It's over seven and a half hours long). I haven't extensively listened to it yet (due to the length), but I already love it. If you like dungeon synth or electronic music, I would recommend checking it out. (If you don't want to start with such a long album, try some of his other works). Bandcamp link

So, the new echotide album finally released, and it's phenomenal. I might write up a review eventually, but I won't make any promises. If you like post rock, you should consider giving it a listen.
