So in last entry I said I would avoid doing unimportant tasks....

And a few days later I was installing windows on a virtual machine.

I'm still waiting for the display and keyboard to arrive, and can't bring myself to draw without having them.  So I'm focused on learning about linux drivers and looking for inspiration and the moment.

I had the idea of asking the Ali express seller for the documents for the display and they simply gave me a short pdf with a simple algorithm for updating the display. Browsing around I found more documents, but they were hosted on baidu.

I don't speak Chinese, nor I have a baidu account and after a lot of stress trying to download the files I gave up, but later I found a subreddit where the kindest soul downloaded the files and uploaded them on a google drive folder.

With that I can start working on the driver before receiving the VFD.
