Lately:

Gave an RTX 4090 a loving home... ChatGPT convinced me I needed more matrix multiplies in my life. Linux Mint on btrfs. A departure for me: I've been using Fedora for... 6 years? Mint takes me back a bit to my Ubuntu days.
Built a rough but minimally functional calorie tracker app, just to dust off my Kotlin/Android dev skills. Was a bit disappointed there's no clear equivalent to Vue's Composition API, and also at Kotlin's type system (Typescript is better at knowing when a nullable value is, you know, null or not.) On the bright side though, the AndroidStudio ConstraintLayout experience is delightful.
Continued work on networked Umpire, though apparently I'm as distractable as the next---it's not gotten the love lately. With this new system build in, I'm planning to dive back in. Oh, and with the new GPU: I have existing code for training an AI through reinforcement learning, which could probably leverage the added cycles.
