+## MIM
+
+- work on a Go-based DAQ for Tomuvol/MIM/DIRE/...
+- still waiting on a testbench to assess and characterize a few properties of that DAQ
+- (no much work could be done since June 1st)
+

+
+## Atlas-Tile
+
+- work on maintenance+improvements of the HV-TileCal monitoring system
+- David Calvet wrote it in Go
+- reorganized, updated (to Go standards) the package
+- added unit-tests
+- improved performances: `48s -> 32s -> 26s`
+

+
+## Atlas-Core
+
+Atlas core s/w had presentation back in 2020 about improvements and developments for Run-4.
+An item of work piqued my curiosity:
+
+- modifying or defining a DSL to define the event data model (`xAOD`)
+- end game being to allow (or ease) access of data to GPU and/or non-C++ languages
+
+Started to work on such a thing (in Go, of course):
+
+- [https://gitlab.cern.ch/binet/grok](https://gitlab.cern.ch/binet/grok)
+
+Atlas core s/w hasn't accepted nor endorsed that strategy.
+We'll see...
+
+## Star-Tex
+
+Still working (on and off) on Star-TeX, a pure-Go TeX engine:
+
+- [https://star-tex.org](https://star-tex.org)
+
+Status:
+
+- can create DVI documents in pure-Go
+- worked on a DVI->PNG converter
+
+To allow for that conversion program, worked on:
+
+- support for old PK-fonts (an old standard of TeX)
+
+Now working on:
+
+- support for Type1-fonts (Adobe)
+
+Once done, this should allow for a DVI->PDF converter as well.
+
+## Extra
+
+Before COVID, to fight against loosing time whenever one needs to show slides in the conference rooms at LPC (correct cable, correctly configured laptop, etc...) I was thinking about working on a little LPC-aimed tool to present slides in the conference rooms:
+
+- Raspberry-based, mounted on each video projector
+- a REST API (only available from inside LPC) to project slides (upload slides, stream through them)
+
+_Another idea:_ directly share one's desktop with the raspi that would project them w/ the video projector.
