Development has been ongoing on the Unicode stuff, and I'm pretty upbeat about it. This project has the advantage of being very straightforward, which is the kind of thing I love most because I always know what I'm doing.

The only thing I don't like about this work is that it's tedious to the fingers and wrists. While I've never been officially diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, unofficially I've had it to some degree for over 15 years. It acts up when I have a lot of typing to do, which is one of the dangers of these straightforward kinds of projects: knowing what comes next means I don't stop to think so much. When the typing involves a lot of stuff like Ctrl+arow that puts my thumb in an awkward position, it's a little worse. So, not a fan of that part. I have to remind myself to take more frequent breaks.

The nice part: console gaming doesn't seem to aggravate it.
