my page!my page!hey! my name's will, but i commonly alias to 0x5DA online.
i'm 14 & have been coding for about 2 1/2 years. i use rust primarily now (and will shill it under contractual obligation :P), but have worked in java & python in the past. i use linux as my daily driver - currently using alpine - and spend most my time in the terminal (nvim). i don't game often, but when i do i enjoy Minecraft, Portal and Celeste. i like FLOSS & decentralisation, and try support them when i can. my current project is a programming language - though it's been on hold for embarrassingly long now 😅 in the future, i'm interested in learning some C / x86_64 and graphics.
* tumbleweed rolls across the screen * .. yeah, this one's embarrassingly sparse aha. for what it's worth, here's the list:
JChatV3: this was the first project i ever made! it was my 'final assignment' i set for myself when i learnt a little java in early 2021. it's more than shitty & i'm sure the code isn't much better, but i was proud of it when i made it!
2DMC: i contributed to a remake of paper minecraft a while ago with a friend. awesome project, and check out @DaNub too!
Note Taking Site: i can't remember the context for this one, but suffice it to say i wanted to make a full stack note taking app. this was the result - built with svelte & rust
LMC emulator: this is so primitive i'm not sure if it really counts as an 'emulator'. a simple rust Little Man Computer program, with a hacky-beyond-belief 'assembler' to load programs for it
shadow: a homebrew programming language. this is my latest project, though it's been abandoned for a while. i have a lot of ideas for it, the current syntax & compiler implementation isn't up to date by any means
do dotfiles count? you be the judge ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
this site: my little websi- what's that? this is too basic to qualify? well consider this: stfu i like it :)
if you're ever unlucky enough to have to talk to me, try this [embarassingly centralised] list:
discord -> @0x5da
fedi -> @0x5DA@fosstodon.org
(told you. i'm working on getting some more FLOSS friendly options on here soon!)
adding this for clarification: my nick was ^-^ Trevor for a long time. at the start of the new year, i changed it to its current 0x5DA / Hex5DA. 'will' is also fine (and much easier to say 😉). some aliases i used to use: ^-^ Trevor, tr3v0r, trevor, onlyTr3v0r
i recently got a ThinkPad T1440p from minifree. i absolutely love this thing (i defintely reccomend it!) i've installed bedrock linux with FDE and alpine linux as my primary strata. i use spectrwm as a window manager, utilising its default bar with a short script for system readouts. i spend most of my time in the terminal (TE: URXVT, SH: zsh), especially in neovim which i use as my primary editor. i try and keep my plugins & experience light and minimal, and though it's not perfect, i'm happy enough with it for now. my configs are all my own, with a modified neovim plugin for using my Xresources theme in the editor. you can find my dotfiles here!
thanks for reading :)
