If you know me personally, you'd have noticed that in the past few years, I hadn't managed to complete any personal project of substantial scale:
2019~2020: The era of stagnation was first triggered by a questionable employment agreement of my day job, which caused me unable to work on personal projects for like a couple of years.
2021: After that, I wasted several months on working on a WiFi clock, which I couldn't complete due to endless feature creeping.
2022~2024: After that, I worked on a so-called Toy Motor Controller project, which's actually an edging machine sex toy. I got misled into cloning a non-working design in the market and spent like 3 years looking for a working hardware config and algorithm. While I've made contributions towards a working solution, I wasn't able to find a fully working setup and I finally abandoned the project in early 2025.
That's how I ended up with 6 years of stagnation. I've lost 6 years of my life. :<
2025: End of Stagnation
2025 is a big year of Sadale. After giving up on the toy motor controller project, I have successfully completed the following projects:
I hope to complete at least an electronic project on 2026, and perhaps writing some more technical blogposts as well.
In celebration of the end of the stagnation, I'm gonna sing my own anthem into 2026:
Let's hope that whichever goddess manipulating my fate (which I don't believe in) won't lead me into another stagnation again. Death to era of stagnation! Long live sadale.net!
