Sorry for the lack of updates, between several family events, adjusting to my current internship, and simply being bad at writing blog posts, this has simply fallen off the to-do list recently.  However, here's an idea of what I'll be looking into and writing about:

• Installing Linux on my desktop - this has been a challenge for me as it seems that since it's a custom build, some components might not be very Linux-compatible.
• Kernel compilation - after 7 years of Linux usage, I still haven't done this.  If I get Linux installed on my desktop I'd like to take the time to optimize it a bit, and compiling the kernel with my own options seems like a good way to do it.
• Learning Rust - I've been considering this language sponsored by the Mozilla foundation for a while, I have a couple of school projects that I'd like to re-do to see how they turn out.

Those three are the main ones that I've considered, but I know I have other projects that I can look into as well.  Updates should be soon!
