Mission 9 just released! Go check out "spot, the rover" systemscheck.dev/missions/9 #systemscheck #programming #puzzles

I've been building a programming puzzle game and finally plotted how far people get through it Mission 1 is big (relatively). mission 2 about half that. after that a small stubborn crowd who just keep going Some of bar one is friends being nice to me. I'll take it! systemscheck.dev #programming

I'd love some feedback if anyone has the time to check out my new project, systemscheck.dev #programming #coding #maker #rust

I built a coding puzzles website, you can sign up and try your hand at solving some of you like! I’d love feedback systemscheck.dev

I recently built rhai-console, a crate that brings a Rails Console-style workflow to Rust applications using Rhai. I've finally recorded a short demo showing it in action and talking through why I built it. youtu.be/gOkIl3Gd7e4 #rust #rhai #rails #maker #programming

Recently made a short demo video of installing a router table insert kit. Highly recommend for anyone with the bench space to spare! youtu.be/zSrwwJI9oYE #woodworking #workshop #diy #maker

I published a small Rust crate called rhai-console. The motivation came from missing the operational REPL experience that Ruby and Python give you out of the box. Rust, being a fully compiled language, does not have a direct equivalent. iancarey.ie/blog/rhaicon... #rust #programming #rhai

Finally added a proper garden tool wall to the workshop! Nothing fancy, just a practical one day project to make the shed far more usable while the full workshop renovation slowly continues. #DIY #Workshop #ToolWall #Woodworking #Maker #WorkshopSetup #OneDayProject

A friend of mine released his first game today on Steam, go check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/4462380/...

Built a simple table saw cart for my workshop so I can move the saw around easily and use my bench as an outfeed table. Folding casters & a small shelf made it way more useful day to day. #woodworking #workshop #tablesaw

Part two, I finished the workbench and it turned out fantastic! youtu.be/4kBSP7rG_TA #woodworking #maker #making

Big excitment building a giant workbench! youtu.be/p6OeEvf7WRI #woodworking #diy #maker #making

You wanna know how wavefunction collapse works? Say less bro youtu.be/SobPLRYLkhg #programming #maker #making #wavefunctioncollapse #rust #generative

Trying a bit of short form content at the moment while we do some DIY on our new home, what do you guys think? #maker #ikea #diy

Incredible Aurora over Wicklow tonight, never seen anything like it

Over the xmas period, I had loads of free time, so I worked on my workshop renovations every spare minute I had. I built these storage shelves and workbench, it's really starting to come together now! youtu.be/m_YvkvBbKmc #maker #making #woodworking #workshop #renovations

Finished up this rolling workbench with storage today, very happy with how they turned out! #maker #making #woodworking #workshop

Day 12: Well, that was disappointing! In one way I'm happy it wasn't the hard thing, but on the other hand, I'm so disappointed it was the easy thing! github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #maker #making #programming

Day 11: Second last day! This one should have been some respite after the last two day, but I made a bunch of stupid mistakes that ended up messing me up, got there in the end and it was totally fine! github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #programming #maker #making

Day 8: Well, I was super busy today, and just my luck it was the spicest day yet! A fairly big step up in complexity today, I also thought it was cheeky that the sample answers he gave were a different ask to the real answer! github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #programming #maker #making

Advent of Code 2025 Day 7 visualisation, DFS go brrrrr #adventofcode #rust #programming #maker #making

Day 7: I enjoyed today, fun recursively walking a tree, with caching to the rescue for part 2! github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #programming #rust #maker #making

Day 6: Purely an exercise in parsing text... Not something I'm very fond of in Rust! Bsy day today, but found the time to sit down and write some grindy code to get it done. github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #programming #maker #making

Advent of Code 2025 Day 4 visualisation written in Rust WASM, working on a small framework to do more than just grids atm, lots of fun! #adventofcode #rust #programming #maker #making

Day 5: Fun one today, I'm certain almost this exact type of problem came up before, reducing and combining ranges, took me a minute to draw out te combinations for part 2, but we got there! github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #rust #programming #maker #making

Day 4: Easier puzzle today, I was wondering when we would see our first grid type one! Simple enhancement on part 1 solves part 2 very easily. github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #programming #rust #maker #making

Day 3: Little bit of a head scratcher, part 2 had the classic, "and now do it for a much larger number", got to a nice solution in the end! Part 1: ~120us Part 2: ~300us github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #programing #maker #making

Day 2 done, I couldn't come up with a nice way to do part 2, so I just wrote something to get the job done! Here ya go: github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #programming #maker #making

The most wonderful time of the year has started! Yes, that's right, Advent of Code is back! D1 was fun, I'm not sure if it was harder than previous years, but with only 12 this year, I guess it's going to ramp faster! github.com/careyi3/aoc/... #adventofcode #rust #programming #maker #making

It's been a minute since I published anything... I've been busy! youtu.be/At8I2o_hIJ8 #maker #making #workshop

I've been working on a web based GRBL CNC controller that runs on a Raspberry Pi! It's written in React & Rust, still in very early Alpha phase, but working great so far! #programming #cnc #grbl #rust #react

I'm working on a Rust & React web based CNC control software targeting GRBL. I'm documenting the process, step one was getting GRBL running on an Arduino Nano for testing and getting it to talk to a Rust app. Enjoy! youtu.be/i5hnKkdayv0 #programming #embedded #rust #arduino #cnc #grbl

I FINALLY got to the final result of this side quest, really happy with the results, there is way more I could do, but for now, this one is done! youtu.be/VcWXn8B9RoE #maker #making #programming #rust #electronics #embedded

I published my first ever Rust crate the other day, it's a minimal FAT32 client written in no_std rust to target a specific embedded platform, but thanks to how awsomely portable rust is, it runs everywhere! crates.io/crates/fat32rs #maker #making #programming #coding
