Now

This is a now page.

• Job: writing technical documentation. Documentation engineering, information architecture, automation.
• Working on my CPTS cert. I’m currently finishing up my privilege escalation module (for Windows), and am moving to the module on exploiting enterprise Active Directory environments.
• Reading Practical Ethics by Peter Singer.
• Immediately related: I’m vegetarian again.
• Ring pull ups, high rep bodyweight squats, heavy rucking, running. My fitness regime has always been inspired by the “Être fort pour être utile” motto, and I’m still doing that.
• Drumming with a metronome in my ear. It’s one thing to have fun and think I sound good, and a different thing entirely to be precise and on time. I wanna be precise and on time.
• DIY: fixing up my old house and converting my garage into a home office.
• I recently went back to Xfce after long distro- and DE/WM-hopping. GNOME looks nice but my old Thinkpad keeps freezing with it. i3 is minimal, sure, but too minimal for me; I actually want not to have to fiddle with a thousand settings every time I want to do a simple thing. And besides, Xfce is my first DE, from back in 2015-something when I first installed Linux. I use Arch btw.
• I’m working outdoors a lot. I feel like it helps me mentally, even though I’m just changing where I sit with my laptop.
