I left my fulltime faculty position at the university. I'm only teaching two modules this semester and I'll probably fade out even more in the future.

I've also paused recording any new lectures at pikuma.com for now. I'm still taking some time to decide what's next for the website. I'm currently focusing on reviewing math & physics to help homeschool my son.

Other than that, I just improved the roof of my chicken coop and I'm slowly evolving the foundation of my study cabin. This new place will be my offline library and music room soon. My plan is to only really go online once a week starting August this year.

Hey I'd really love your input based on your academic background on an app I'm building if you have the time. It's learning focused.

I'm a Dad homeschooling a son and have a dog in the race of making parental guided education easier.

I have an Alpha user who's a PhD and makes courses but I still want diverse feedback.

I've been working on something similar for helping work through my masters classes: https://studyengine.app
Thanks for all your efforts on pikuma.com, huge fan here.

Can you share what kind of ideas you're mulling for the direction of the site?

Thanks for the kind words. I still want to record "Operating Systems" and "Algorithms & Data Structures" to finally complete the core CS areas. It's missing Networking but I don't know much about that topic anyways. I also wanted to continue the retro programming with at least one 68K machine (maybe the Mega Drive) plus a MS-DOS x86 course too. Also, I wanted to teach 3D game physics, either as a new course or adding more chapters to the existing 2D physics course.

Hopefully, I'll decide on what to tackle soon.
