Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all.
As per usual the progress moves forward.
new unreal engine 5.7
new ubunutu onto 25 version,
ableton 12.3 another ableton update
swapped developer outfit for safe and secure web3 development for going forward into 2026.
rebuilt – ssl certificate, github repo, developer laptop, and have massively been developing smart contracts using the cyfrin updraft platform with all of the additionals, python vyper feirce solidity , meta mask and have also been re hammering through the courses as the schedule develops.
One thing for sure about web3 its different than the traditional, getting to the point were we could release some basic smart contracts, perhaps on hedera, because its cheap, rather than paying the developer alary for the about 12 months that it would take it might be better paying it forward by releasing forward smart contracts that run the basics for a while, a sort of start and fail forward methodolgy , translating developer wages bills into smart currenceys and smart contracts pairs , with a few limited humble contract releases so that you actually are getting into the Secure Defi market space.
It might be a better strategy just to get something up and running in a limited capacity rather than spending the money on devleoper sub contracts, but also paying for contract hosting on the block chain AND the smart tokens such as chainink, aave or uniswap or gmx perpetuals
Were looking at quit high developer wages, cryptocurrency and blockchain fees, balanced with the few hundreds of millions in the global internet economey as Defi and tokenisation ramps up.
maybe 2026 will see a further hundred million potential customers all across the block chain ecosystem, so in a sense you could argue that the market could double in terms of customers, including the possibility of developing customers that are already getting into the Defi scenario.
Couple of more upgrades, WordPress, and moving the developer environment from windows to Ubuntu.
MetaMask wallet, which is advisable to use with Brave web browser.
Theres a few upgrades to GitHub aswell so there some monday.com sort of additions to projects.
Have been busy this past few months , the last quarter or so boning up on TinyTapeOut, KiCAD, FreeCAD, and xMSpice validation tools so some very serious engineering simulations.
Blender is up a new version aswell.
However that being said looking forward into 26 year well be splitting the streams up into 5 main progression streams.
1 web3 smartcontracts wallet security and secure auditing
2 Game and 3d design with Blender, Unreal engine
3 UX website design using web2 technologies.
LAMP with Html, Javascript, website hosting maintenance
website and app design and prototyping using figma make and adobe creative cloud
4 audio production music and podcast/radio production using ableton and izotope plugin bundles.
5 STEM. Science technology and engineering with validation using KiCAD, 3CAD, Xscem, MagicSpice for fabrication.
Forward looking statements for 26.
Probably the usual NVIDIA, and social media battle for AI and probably might be a less pacier year in terms of developments as theres been a lot, perhaps fatigue a lot of announcements this year so its a bit tiring and seaming with each and every monumental release its a bit OTT actually.
There is supposed to be some release from itel about 1st/2nd quarter 26 with a new cpu so basically there combining xeon and desktop cpu with the ai enhanced chip so that will be a pretty big thing the xeon assembly language is pretty advantageous and as also these ai chips are single core single thread they fulfill a handy iso standard aswell so well probably be upgrading about 3 or four months into this as our standard loadout because it finally will combine dekstop/laptop and server assembly language instruction sets in one which for us in particular will be really handy.
Once again all the best for 26 year!
