About Me

Howdy! My name is Olive, and this is my website! I host my some of my projects here (and the blog posts I write about them). I'm interested in low-level computing, FPGAs, radio communication, and analog synthesisers. When not tinkering with 'puters, I like to crochet, make jewellery, work leather, learn languages, listen to music, read, and watch movies.

Technology

Besides the follies which cause me to reinstall Arch Linux every few months, I do a pretty good job ordering 'puters around. Here is some of the software I've written:

• hive – Web-based code auto-grader for programming students
• rd – Ultra-light Linux privilege elevator for systems with few users
• arcane – QMK firmware configuration for my split keyboard
• eider – CGI web program that displays git repositories
• hrtime – Form website for a medical research project

For many years, I have programmed using C, shell, make, git, and the POSIX/Linux ABI. I also do server administration with Linux. Lately, I've picked up Rust for writing small programs and web backends with simple frontends in plain HTML/CSS.

My dream job would be writing firmware in C or designing programs for FPGA (once I finally learn Verilog at university).

Music

My favourite genres of music are grunge, punk, hyperpop, breakcore, and digital hardcore. I really enjoy the music scene where I live, and I think it's critical that everybody gets out there and interacts with local artists in some capacity.

Because I self-host my music library (and therefore don't have an algorithm), I rely on others to tell me what I should be listening to. If you have any suggestions, send me an email, and I'll be sure to let you know what I think.
