Of course, it will be updated every time there’s a project I feel should be worth adding there that I have worked on and/or contributed to.

It can be viewed here.

At the moment, each project is represented by its own picture, and each picture is basically its own clickable link to the relevant project page. I might see if I can get each image’s title to show up on top of the image, so that they more obviously and helpfully look like buttons, which would especially be helpful on mobile and touch devices where you can’t easily get the image’s alt-text just by hovering over it, but that most likely won’t happen. We’ll see, I guess.

Hey, at least you can still click on each picture/image and it will take you to the relevant page!

Either way, I hope you’ve enjoyed this website so far, even half as much as I am enjoying making it right now!

I’m not the biggest user of Vim/Neovim… but it became REALLY useful for a funded project I did

19 minute read

For that same project I hosted a conference presentation for back in July, I decided to start using Vim/Neovim (Neovim specifically) for a very specific reason that ended up being very useful to me for said project. This article goes into depth about how I got to using Vim/Neovim, and also how I continued using Neovim afterwards from there. This isn’t going to be a tutorial, though I will show the most useful Vim/Neovim commands I’ve learnt so far (as of the time this article goes live). Hope you enjoy it!

Getiing the webcam drivers to work was a bit of work, but I eventually got there in the end. The rest of the process went somewhat smoothly (keyword: somewhat). Now that I actually remember (mostly) how mintupgrade worked during the upgrade process, I can actually write an article about it!

Well, the time has finally come to do one more of these, and this year I took the time to plan out what I was going to say. Things are a quite different, now that I am effectively using a different laptop now that my red one got borked. Also, this post is far longer than what I usually write, but I split it up into subsections that can basically count as articles in their own right. I hope you enjoy reading through all of this as much as I have enjoyed writing all of this!

A (Not So) Brief Update On My Life And What I Want To Do With This Website, Now That I’m Doing A PhD And Have Just Co-Hosted My First Conference Presentation

15 minute read

I last wrote a blog post in 2023, my yearly Linux Mint anniversary post. It’s been almost a year since then, so now is time for an update, now that my life and career path have both changed considerably. Long story short: I started a PhD in February and I just co-hosted my first conference presentation with my PhD supervisor. I’m very much looking forward to it, so read on for a brief-ish summary of what’s going on in my life (as of Tuesday 9th July 2024).
