I fail at blogging

But that is no surprise.

All this work I have been doing over the summer has been a really good experience and physically difficult (increase in base level strength success). But now it is time to return to more climbing at academia. I haven't really had time to do much more than work, a little climbing and a little research into my final year topic.

I have been (learning to, and) building things like this, as well as audio engineering

Climbing has taken a bit of a back seat. I took a couple trips to Cheedale, and started a couple projects including 'This is the Sea', at the cornice. Otherwise climbing once or twice a week at the local climbing centre, Big Rock in Milton Keynes. The project board there is worth a punt, if you live local.

In retrospect this is probably a good thing, as slow recovery might mean avoiding further injury.
I am still no where near as fit and strong as last summer, but there is no surprise.

Today I start my foray into the worlds of Python and Java. Armed with a pair of Raspberry Pis, some research and confidence, I am finally beginning my proof of concept for my Final Major Project.

I will be making multi-channel audio over IP modules for use with beam steering line arrays.
Proof of concept using Raspberry Pis, and hopefully the final product will use a pair of FPGAs with Ethernet and a server.

The dream is to make a super light weight amplifier/DSP/AOIP module that you bolt on the pack of whatever your favourite pro-audio loudspeaker. And using a particular piece of software, having ultimate control over where the sound goes for the purest even listener experience.

My backup project is hire-house database software, because rental desk is shit if you don't license for a fortune.

Watch This Space.
