I've been working on a science experiment.  I got eaten alive by my test subjects (I could swear they're still hiding somewhere in my house), and I ended up having to create a multivariabled linear regression model with one hand while applying itch cream with the other.  That's all I've been up to.

Bump:

So what is everyone up to this Summer? Do you have any calc or non-calc projects planned? Will you go to a trip somewhere? Will you be around, more active or less active?

In my case I am not as active lately due to the Summer Festival and work schedule. The concerts so far were fun, though, except the first which wasn't really my genre, but the 3 others I went to so far were pretty epic and I plan to go to the one tomorrow and maybe Saturday too. However, travelling back home after the shows can be an hassle due to the massive waiting line that can form at the ferry or in Juju's case, the bus stop, and the walk back home afterward. However it's fun.

I also had one week of vacation a few weeks before and will have two more in a week, so hopefully I'll be a little more active then. Calc projects and music will depend of health (neck/back pain can make it hard to concentrate >.<)

I might also try to go to the water park next week or during my vacations.

There is another festival in August, but thankfully there is a special public transit schedule for the event so I can get back home earlier.

For the past few weeks, I have been at work, but since the hours aren't too extreme, I have a lot of time to do hobbies, collect calcs, etc. This week, I am off because neither of my bosses will be at workI am mostly working on my computer in my house, but I doubt that I will be able to keep that up for long, because I have a family vacation starting next week, and I'm going hiking in New Mexico the following two weeks. After that, I should be back to working and having time to do stuff.

I have plenty of free time, now that it's summer. Last month, I went to camp for four days, as well as to New York for a week. But now, basically all I have for the summer is the preparation for a class next year, Minecraft, reading for school (finished The Grapes of Wrath today), and of course, calculators. I'm slowly progressing on my two-week-old calc project.

I haven't worked on libti*/gfm/tilp for several weeks.
I've worked a bit on nLaunchy, but I need to rework, as Excale rewrote the Makefile entirely in the meantime.

And lately, I've been working on further improving PatrickD's TI-68k emulator written in JS:
* making it possible to boot up AMS 2.xx;
* nearly doubling the emulation speed by rewriting the emulation of movem (load multiple / store multiple) instructions, but the emulator remains slower than real hardware on recent computers running Firefox Nightly (Chrome is faster);
* making it possible to transfer files to AMS (tested on 2.09).
In addition to this, Adriweb contributed some support for screenshots
Multiple important items (Flash memory support, transferring files from the calculator, somehow reducing the frequent emulator hangs triggered by user clicks or keypresses, and more) remain to be done for the emulator to become a reasonably generic, mildly accurate TI-68k emulator - and those items will slow down emulation, which in turn will require more optimization...
In this day and age, high accuracy emulation of the HW2+ protections costs lots of CPU time, it is of very little use to non-developer users, there are hardly any developers anymore, and tiosmod+amspatch strips them out anyway - it follows that as far as I'm concerned, implementing those silly "protections" is a waste of time.

I'm not able to complete the todo list for the emulator by myself - contributions needed, especially on the Web development front

Among other improvements over the past few days, Flash memory emulation was implemented this morning in the JS TI-68k emulator... but it's not like anybody will care, now that there's the Prime
