What is this page?

It is a now page, an idea by Derek Sivers. As Derek describes it:

Besides answering the common question, “What are you up to these days?”, those who have a now page say it’s a good reminder of their priorities. […]

For me; the latter point he is making is the most important. It’s good to spend some time reflecting on what is important — for me — now.

Life

Winter is here again, it’s that time of year to do indoor projects, read books, light the fireplace, and curl up under a blanket.

I’ve managed to hurt my shoulder on a work trip, and this is limiting what I can do — but we’re getting by 🙂

Projects

2024 has been another year with very few blog posts written, I’ve spent some time updating the site lately and thinking about reducing my writing friction. There will probably be more shorter posts going forward.

I’m having a hard time justifying spending two or three evenings writing when there is so much more to do.

Still working on my DIY security system. I’m still improving the code quality and syntax. Water, power, and battery have been my main focus. But I’m also starting to think about using professional smoke detectors in the attic, basement, and garage.

My homelab has gone through some changes lately, I’m hoping to get those documented in the near future.
