It&#8217;s almost as if I enjoy doing the work more than any sense of accomplishment or completion which comes with finishing a project. While the <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/wiki\/SDrive_NUXX\">SDrive NUXX<\/a> project isn&#8217;t totally done, as long as I didn&#8217;t screw something up, the difficult \/ interesting work is pretty much done. I&#8217;m just waiting for parts to be delivered (all orders have been submitted), then I&#8217;ll have some packaging \/ kitting \/ assembly \/ shipping, and it&#8217;ll be complete.<\/p>\n<p>At times like this I start to feel around for something to do next, but until I find that I end up feeling a bit lost and useless. It&#8217;s not like these little projects give me much purpose in life, but they do at least hold my attention, teach me something, and make things interesting.<\/p>\n<p>I think that tonight I&#8217;ll clean up the basement a bit, ensuring that the workspace needed for the aforementioned kitting and assembly is available, and then setting up a workspace for IC programming. Maybe after that I&#8217;ll swap out the tires on my bike for something a bit more trail-friendly, as I think that the weather is probably going to break after this weekend. Still, I need to find another big project. Maybe a device which monitors power consumption of USB devices on a per-port basis, or some sort of nifty clock, or something&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever I start wrapping up a personal project, I start to feel a bit let down.
