Ah yes. Dead trees with Ink sprayed on them. Truly one of the most morbid ways
to describe books, but it’s a way I may have described them in the recent past.
However… I have recently developed quite a liking for books, Specifically,
Programming books and Personal Development books! And I’m about to go into some
sort of depth as to why!
What books do I currently own?
I have purchased a bunch of books within the last few months, More so than I
could ever read in those months, but I do intend to go through them all! So,
currently on my bookshelf I have
Well… I guess its that time of year again where I try advent of code
and see how long it takes before I want to kill myself… And this year…
I am committed to doing it in C89.
Why C89?
C89 is a language I have fought with since I did COSC242 in university. It
is a very stripped down version of C, with little to no mercy given to the
programmer. Especially in things like code structure. I especially dislike
the lack of booleans, meaning I need to use integers to represent basic flags.
Ok so… I’ve decided to add some decoration to my desk at work in the form
of a bot.
What What in the Bot?
I’m calling the bot “Grimey Bot” which will be a sucessor to steevo bot. I hope
that I can write it in C although there are some practical limitations to this
project, mostly being that it needs to interface via GPIO to a display output,
which I have decided to be e-ink.
