discount VS name-needed

I have a blog[0], I write stuff. I don't have a job yet but I blog about my personal life and on technical problems, feelings, and stuff.

I also have a website with other things here and there [5].

The blog itself is literally a git repository, browsable here[1]. Whenever I push, it runs a git hook that executes build commands. The blog is composed of markdown files.

All the blog can be rebuilt by following the instructions and is meant to be as platform-agnostic as possible, meaning you could host it under any webserver under any path, links are relative, etc.

The blog system I use is blogit [2]; originally created by Pedantic software but has been heavily modified by yours truly[4]. Under the hood it's literally a makefile, unix `sed,grep,etc` to make tagging and other static stuff. It uses the markdown parser discount[3] to parse markdown into html. It is fully static and you can deploy it and just put a simple python http server on it. I use lighttpd, because I have some services set up.

For my long term side project I just dump ideas into a barely organised backlog.md [^1]. After finishing a feature or taking a few months away, I normally dive back in by browsing this and choosing the next milestone.

It's worked well for a couple of years, and helps me keep the long term goals in mind.

It uses a custom static site generator because I needed to procrastinate somehow before starting the first post... Now it's nicely stable and punishing new posts is quick and easy

Location: Tallinn, Estonia (UK citizen intending to move there)

Remote: Willing to work partly remote but I require a sponsored visa to work in Estonia

Willing to relocate: Yes, to Tallinn :^)

Technologies: Rust, C, Python preferably, but C++ too. I enjoy low-level work focused on performance; see my toy OS, JVM implementation and game engine on my github profile.

I've written some pretty low-level OpenGL bindings in Rust, because the existing solutions are either too high level or over the top complexity wise.

At the time I only had experience with the OpenGL C api and didn't want to learn a totally different Rust abstraction or mix C/C++ libraries into a pure Rust project.

I've been alternating between two long term Rust projects, which seems to work in keeping the motivation up for both!

A Dwarf Fortress-like game (and engine): https://github.com/DomWilliams0/name-needed

A x64 operating system: https://github.com/DomWilliams0/DomeOS

A Dwarf Fortress-like game (and engine) in Rust: https://github.com/DomWilliams0/name-needed

Ambitious to be sure, but after a year and a half I'm still consistently working on it, and still enjoying it!
