The years start coming and they well and truly just do not stop coming.

Been a minute since I updated the ol’ blog, where have I been?

Well, I’ve got two boys: 3 and 1. I’ve been at home. Trying my best to sleep.

It’s been busy times at my day job, too, and something needs to take a back seat, and that’s meant blogging. That’s fine! This ball is most assuredly plastic.

That doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on any projects, though.

I’ve been busy working on a ray tracer following Ray Tracing In One Weekend. Maybe I could’ve completed it in a weekend before kids, but these days I’m happy to complete anything that’s not strictly necessary.

I’m still waiting for the final render (which, of course, I need to write the blog post) so there will be a separate post about that + learning Coalton (and CL), but if you’re curious, the code is available on my Tangled: Ray.

Eventually I’d like to move all my code (and this site too!) over to Tangled, but they don’t allow custom domains yet, so that’ll have to wait.

Thanks for reading! Please do reach out on Bluesky or via email if this was interesting
