Today, I am finally getting around to a long-overdue project.

I’m fortunate that my job provides a pretty sweet #wfhlife setup with a #macbookpro and dual monitors.

But then, I already had a dual monitor setup in the studio. I’ve been trying all sorts of ways, for months, to make things work between my work and home computers, to just have one set of monitors and keyboard.

In case anyone is curious, KVM’s and Mac’s just do not play well together. I’ve tried multiple brands. HDMI, DisplayPort, DisplayLink, Thunderbolt hubs, direct connect…you name it, and I’ve had issues with it. I don’t know enough about #embeddedsoftware to dive in and troubleshoot why this is happening, but it’s frustrating.

Either way, I’m caving in and doing a big workspace overhaul. By the end of today it’ll be discrete sets of monitors for each computer. The cable management will be the most tedious part, but what else am I gonna do on a chilly, overcast Sunday?

I wrote a processor-agnostic introduction to DMA. It includes two metaphors and an adventurer's map.

If you want better understanding of how DMA works and how to set it up, please take a look.

Meet us in Nuremberg!

FOSDEM 2024 will be the weekend of 3rd and 4th February next year, and as usual we will be running the Embedded, Mobile, and Automotive devroom. We need speakers! The Call for Participation is just out: https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2023q4/003522.html.

We are looking for great talks about technologies, case studies, best practice, and anything you have that fits our profile. But, please don't spend too long thinking about it because the submission deadline is Friday 8th December

So, I know it's a thing to do and #introduction, and I haven't done one yet. I am, as my profile says, a rather vocal #adoptee.

I do have other interests. Rather than explain, I'll just throw a pile of hashtags out there:

#AdopteeVoices #Linux #Emacs #Esperanto #Cats #EmbeddedSoftware #OpenSource #TTRPG #Lisp #ScienceFiction

There's a good chance I'll be adding some, but let's start with what we have.

Read on for an introduction to the cats in my life.
