Current main projects:
- #plptools: Resurrecting old ports (#FreeBSD, #NetBSD) and working on a new port to #HaikuOS. It's an opportunity to get more familiar with the code and maybe find bugs along the way.
Upcoming projects:
- #CTRAN: Still haven't started writing unit tests. Also, complete a full write-up of what it took to get the thing working.
- Get my website running #GoHugo.
- Rebuild of DEATH, my Microserver gen8, probably with #FreeBSD. (Yes, it's been over a year since DEATH's RAID died.)
- Pick another SIBO SDK tool to rewrite. (Probably EMAKE or RCOMP.)
- Add a 17V boost converter to #PsiDrive.
- Make #fefstool create FEFS images. (I'm half-tempted to rewrite fefstool in Pascal to make it easier for me to finish.)
You'll notice that some of these projects have been sitting for a while. I've struggled to get going with things this year. I'm hoping that working though plptools will give me some mental energy to get going with other things.

Slow and steady - a few little commits in this branch of #fefstool.
I'm getting distracted by trying to work out how I'm going to make this class work for copies of volumes on a regular computer, and running on an RP2040 talking to real SSDs. That's not important right now. I just need to get the code working as a class.
I also need to stop copying the file containing the FEFS volume into RAM, and instead directly access the file.

Right, back on to #fefstool.
Before I do anything else, I want to make the code more understandable. That's going to involve refactoring some parts into separate functions, changing related variables to structs, etc. I also need to rename a few bits, as they were written before I discovered that the #Psion flash filesystem was called FEFS.
Hopefully, tinkering with the code will help me loosen up so I can tackle the main point of the project - making new FEFS images.
