What I’m doing now
A running status log. If it’s here, it’s what I’m actually spending time on this week.
01
Working on
- Ariane 5 (EP-01): checking every fact in the 1996 inquiry board report before writing any simulation code.
- The flight model: two identical inertial reference computers on the same inputs, which is why the backup didn’t help.
02
Just shipped
- This site, and episode 00 with its first interactive demo.
- The toolkit’s first module: checked, wrapping and saturating integer conversions, with tests. The same input, 40,000, gives an error in Ada, −25,536 in C, and 32,767 when clamped.
03
Up next
- The EP-01 write-up and video.
- The first Show Me Why explainer: why 45° throws furthest.
- Newsletter signup, so you don’t have to check back.
