Computer Hardware & Electronics

Computer Hardware & Electronics have always been something I've been into. There's always something about them I really admire. The complexity, their functions, and what I can do with them. I guess it's no surprise that I decided to study Electronic Engineering.

Desktop & Server Computers

This was one of my first interests within this area. As a kid, I was always fascinated about what computers could do, and the things I saw my dad run on them. I enjoyed watching people build one from scratch and cared about all the intricacies of all the different components.

In secondary school, I used to attend and then eventually teach in a computer hardware class a student used to run in the evenings, the things I thought I about computers was upended a lot more. With these, we went through the different components, their functions, what to consider when purchasing one for a specific use case. I loved what was in these classes, and so taking over was a fun thing for me.

Microcontrollers

FPGAs

Computer Software

This shouldn't come as a shock, considering I'm also interested on what could be run the machines I'm fascinated about.

Operating Systems

Desktop Environments & Window Managers

Terminals/Shells

Over the years I've been using Linux, I've depended on the solid and reliable bash. It was simple enough, and standard on most systems. Nowadays, I've been enjoying some extra functionality on my system with zsh, and the plugins that it supports. A highlight of things I've added are rememberance of previous terminal commands, which are partially greyed out when you type out stuff, and to show how long a command had run for after the execution ended on the terminal. This has improved my terminal workflow, though I've been using GUI applications a lot more over the past year or so (2024 specifically).

Electronic Music

Following from the computer/electronic themes, my appreciation of the whole genre and the subgenres of electronic music has always been based on what could be made from electronic devices, be they primitive and basic oscillators, to the complex synthesizers artists use on top of their DAW prowess. While from an initial view of these things, you'd think they'd be limited on their options, but these limitations are what fascinates me.
