<h1>About Me</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Hi, I'm Jacob. I'm a current undergraduate computer science student at the
|
|
University of Manitoba and infrastructure developer at the National
|
|
Microbiology Lab. I'm planning on continuing on to do a master's degree at
|
|
the U of M as well.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
My big interests outside of computers these days are tea and fountain
|
|
pens. I also am really into literature, but haven't been able to find the
|
|
time to read all that much as of late.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In terms of computers, the hardware I'm most interested in is older video
|
|
game consoles (which I want to eventually start some projects with) and
|
|
microcontrollers. I like being able to fully understand how the hardware
|
|
works which becomes a challenge for more complicated devices.
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
|
In a similar vein, I like being able to understand the software that I use
|
|
which is why I like using free (as in freedom) software. Emacs is my text
|
|
editor of choice although I also use (neo)vim on remote machines (and at
|
|
work due to some incompatibilities with the available version of Emacs and
|
|
my configuration). My language of choice for personal projects is C. I
|
|
enjoy the limited number of keywords in the language as it allows me to
|
|
keep the full language inside of my head and allow me to focus on writing
|
|
the algorithms, although Python is nice for rapid prototyping. Go is a
|
|
nice middle-ground that I choose sometimes when I want faster code than
|
|
Python or a stronger typing system. Another language that I enjoy is Rust,
|
|
although I don't find myself writing it very often.
