After an extended hiatus from posting here, I have finally convinced myself to start writing a blog entry or three now and then.
Since the last time I posted, I've mostly been working on the FFmpeg project, and I am now a developer with commit access. FreeBASIC no longer scratches an itch for me, and itch-scratchiness is a very important factor when it comes to motivation for working on open source projects (at least for me), so I haven't been spending much time at all on FreeBASIC lately. I do check in from time to time to see how things are developing, but my interests have really refocused on C; my work on the FreeBASIC runtime (written in C) only helped fuel this change.
Most of my FFmpeg contributions up to this point have been fringe formats like a decoder for TMV, but I've also added support for slightly more useful formats like Sony Wave64 and RF64, as well as occasional fixes for bugs I run across or find unattended on the bug tracker. It's been an exciting and interesting experience to hack on code that ends up in things like VLC and Chrome, even if I only helped improve a little piece of it.
