     <p>To review the history of my <code>~/.plan</code> file and see progress over time, you can see <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://source.starfort.tech/aklabs.net/www.aklabs.net/commits/branch/main/now/index.html">the history on the Starfort Source Vault</a>.</p>
 <p>These days I’m mostly focused on my day job, which means I won’t publish a lot of personal code, but the good news is that most of my work is open source on Repo1, and you can <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://repo1.dso.mil/akesterson/dotfiles/-/blob/main/.plan.md">follow me there</a>.</p>
 <h2 id="Recent-Progress"><a href="#Recent-Progress" class="headerlink" title="Recent Progress"></a>Recent Progress</h2><ul>
-<li>Resolved a bug in the Steam DevKit Client that prevented it from running on X11 vs Wayland</li>
-<li>Completed a Support Firefighter academy, graduating several Marion county support firefighters</li>
-<li>Midway through a Suppression Firefighter academy, getting ready to graduate 3 new suppression firefighters</li>
-<li>Abandoned the synology DSM API automation efforts. It’s undocumented hot garbage.</li>
+<li>Started my embedded development journey. Started out with a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMQ2CPQN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title">Freenove ESP32-S3 WROOM board</a>. About 1&#x2F;3 of the way through <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://docs.freenove.com/projects/fnk0085/en/latest/">their C tutorials</a>. Built a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://source.starfort.tech/andrew/esp32-learning/src/branch/main/flowing_light_with_button">cascading LED waterfall</a> that rolls through and fades lights with PWM off the GPIO pins, and uses a button to change the direction of the scroll.</li>
+<li>Built a primitive timeclock for my son to log hours working for me on household projects and deployed it into my kubernetes cluster</li>
+<li>Moved entirely off of GitHub and onto self-hosted infrastructure (the server hosting this is in my living room)</li>
+<li>Minor bugfixes to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://source.starfort.tech/andrew/libakerror">libakerror</a> to improve detection of functions that should return <code>akerr_ErrorContext *</code> but don’t</li>
+<li>Added <code>atof</code> to my <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://source.starfort.tech/andrew/libakstdlib">libakstdlib</a></li>
+<li>Improvements and bugfixes to my [libakgl] game library<ul>
+<li>Correctly interpret relative paths when loading assets</li>
+<li>Abstracted the rendering layer out into an <code>akgl_RenderBackend</code> object to make it easier to swap in GPU rendering later</li>
+<li>Implemented pluggable physics through <code>akgl_PhysicsBackend</code> and started work on an arcade physics engine. Moved away from primitive movement mechanics (input directly sets velocity) to a more proper physics simulation (input drives thrust, actor characteristics drive acceleration, gravity and atmospheric drag are counteracting forces)</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Updated my <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://source.starfort.tech/andrew/akgl-test">akgl test demo</a> to use the new pluggable renderers and physics systems, updated assets for relative pathing and physics data, as well as additional HUD data for player velocity and positioning data</li>
 </ul>
 <h2 id="Specific-Plans"><a href="#Specific-Plans" class="headerlink" title="Specific Plans"></a>Specific Plans</h2><!-- personal .plan here -->
 <ul>
-<li>Start learning about embedded development. I’ve got a strong history in C on constrained systems through my hobby game programming, and I think I want to pivot away from DevSecOps into embedded development. I’ve got some STM32 and Arduino equipment coming, and I’m going to start working through a series of projects.</li>
+<li>Complete the 2026 Marion fire academy, and produce a better plan for 2027. This academy has been just as much work as the last one, I need to be able to step away more from the next one and let the junior instructors handle more of the classes.</li>
+<li>Add collision detection to the libakgl arcade physics engine. Actors should be able to stand on things, run into things, and slide down angles.</li>
+<li>Complete ESP32 Serial communication and Sensor projects</li>
 <li>Plan and implement a distributed storage network for myself and my relatives. One of us recently suffered a catastrophic data failure on their NAS and there were no backups. This was a serious wake-up call that RAID in one location is not enough, so we’re taking steps towards geographically distributed replicated backups.</li>
