I'm constantly trying to figure out how to piece together the smallish resources I have (RaspberryPis, Beaglebone Black/Blues, Arduino R3s & Nanos) into distributed computing systems suitable for building my own robowaifu. I also spend time learning to program C++ for the same reasons.
Seems like it's pretty much becoming a major focus in my life. I feel like if we all make a breakthrough with this tech, then /cyber/ will both be real, and at least slightly less dystopic. :^)
