Heh, I feel like I need to clarify something. Don't get me wrong, it was not 24/7. Instead it was occasional work with huge several month long gaps :)

- syntaxing 8y agoIf you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living? Your expertise in this is seriously impressive.
- CamelCaseName 8y agoHe has 15 years of experience as an embedded software dev/security researcher. Looks like he's worked on a lot of really cool, low level, stuff.
- getorix 8y agoCorrect, and I have also spent 7 years making Cinema Cameras in Blackmagic Design. This helped a lot with Leica research.
- contingencies 8y agoYou seem to be in Melbourne. Any relation to Felix Hude of Mr. Pumpy fame? I believe he used to teach at RMIT. http://www.mrpumpy.net/ http://www.mrpumpy.net/
- gchamonlive 8y agoDid you have problems with motivation or feeling that the project was too daunting? Or was it natural? Some projects I wanted to do I just stopped because I wasn't getting anywhere and felt like someone possibly did it better before (though I don't think anybody did something similar to what you did there) and I just quit it. Do you have any method to overcome such dead ends or negative mindsets?
- getorix 8y agoNah, it is not about motivation, it is always and only about spare time. Family and job obviously have priority. When I stuck or tired due to lack of progress I just take a break from the project for a day, week or even month. I have noticed when I get back to that fresh, something good happens straight away, new ideas are popping up, things start to spin :)
