    I haven't been updating in these topics because I haven't had much to share, but I'm happy to report that I have now actually written some things! Nothing is finished yet, and I've got a lot more writing and editing to do, but I'll hopefully have a few blog posts to share when this is all done.

    Also, now that I've finished Chrono Trigger for CGA I can really hone in. That plus being deadline motivated will hopefully make for a productive home stretch for me.

    Good luck to everyone here! I haven't responded to nearly as many of everyone's posts as I would have liked to, but know that I've genuinely loved reading all your updates. We have some INCREDIBLE projects lined up this year!

    No movement this week. I'll keep working on it, but it is not going to be ready in time for the showcase. :(

      The Showcase starts on the 5th, but it remains open! We’ve had people submit projects days and even weeks afterwards.

    Still finishing up with a cold that is right in my lungs, so no singing for me yet, but I've done some more recording of just the guitar parts.

    So this week was quite a productive week on my audio player. I finished coding the ability to add new wifi networks and sent off the next iteration of my case design off to be 3D printed. So I thought now would be a good time to list my goals for the month, to see how well I did in achieving them:

    Redesign the case to fix the issues with the current one

    Completed

    Code the capability to connect to new WiFi networks, enabling it to fully portable

    Completed

    Finish knitting the pair of socks I started that are a thank you gift to my friend 3D printing the case

    I am getting quite close, and may be able to finish by the end of the month

    Fix the bug that is leading to Openbox not launching my program 100% of the time

    I have not touched this one yet, as it seems to be less of an issue now.

    Authenticate Raspotify, which will hopefully solve the issue of having to start playback from a second device

    I have not done this one yet. Also, unfortunately my case kind of broke when taking it apart this past week to redesign the case, so I am unable to work on it as is. However, this should be an easy step once I get around to it, as I already have an oauth file on my audio player from authenticating the front end.

    Overall, I am happy with how much I have been able to get done the past few weeks. This last week I will probably not get anything done on the player, due to the case breaking. But hopefully I get the new case back next week, which will be in time for the showcase.

    I actually have no idea how to post in the showcase thread -- an incomplete first draft of a novel? Hard to really showcase. Especially since I'm not fully happy with anything I've written -- y'know, first draft stuff. Maybe just lightly edit and post an excerpt from each week? Idk.

    In terms of progress this week, I wrote, you guessed it, twelve thousand words, like I have every other week. The writing this week was uneventful -- well, actually, that's a lie. The ladies I live with bought a lot of spirits for hosting, so I was writing tipsy for a couple days there -- easier than writing sober, and therefore inadvisable. But also thoroughly unremarkable. I'll certainly hit 50k words by month's end, so, if this was NaNoWriMo, that would be the goal! Will I have made something? Well, maybe about forty percent of a draft of something. Eh. Whatever. I'm not doing this for your sake kfwyre
