Home projects are wrapping up (flooring done, rooms back together). Remaining items should be less time consuming.

I should have a M3D pro 3D printer showing up early in the new year. Time then to get the store bought device running and print out RepRap vertices to move that project forward (just need rod and various fasteners and a bed after that.

The HTC Vive is sitting in a box at the moment but the computer to drive it is together and loaded with software. Once the area in the finished part of the basement that will allow the room scale capabilities to be used is ready it can go down there…then I just have to get coding on some VR stuff (choices, choices…OpenGL or Unity).

My ‘test mule’ machine is not faring well. It is an old, small Dell desktop we picked up at an estate sale years ago. It has served well as a target when I needed to run code on a separate system across the house network for quite a few years. At this point it is regularly rebooting for no good reason. I’m thinking of replacing it sometime in the next few months with a NUC configured similarly. They’re compact, decently powerful and stable. probably wind up spending a bit more money but as a dev test box it should server very well.

Plenty more fun things to get done. Few more home projects that will keep the home front messy but looking forward to playing with the cool toys sometime soon.
