<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>
|
|
<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.
