Brian S. Stephan published some weeks ago a pretty interesting +design for an arcade stick case on his [git repo](https://git.incorporeal.org/bss/buildable-stick-system), +and I want to make some modifications, open a PR and hopefully, have it merged. I'd like to add compatibility +with korean levers and 3mm thick acrylic top panels for accommodating art. + +In the realm of programming, I have some ideas that I'd like to see through. I wish to learn embedded programming in the RP2040 +microcontroller, the one that powers up the raspberry pi pico. As a practice project, make a simple scientific +calculator with an LCD screen, even oled, I like how they look like. After that, start developing a library for interfacing +Playstation 2 controllers and finally, have the ultimate, custom Playstation 2 arcade stick. The thought alone makes me drool. + +Got into personal accounting recently too, with [hledger](https://hledger.org/). I think it's an interesting system, and although +I'm not a power user, I see the potential in automating accounting tasks when working with a plain text system like hledger. +Looked for parsing libraries for it, and found none. Maybe it's a good idea to make one, potentially in C so it can be embedded +into extensible languages like Python or Ruby. Python already has a package with different utilities for working with hledger's +journal files, but parsing them has potential for so much more. |
