Now

May 2025

Few months ago, at the end of March, I've become frustrated with the ways I've been spending my time again, and decided to change it. I now strive to consume less and more mindfully, and to create more, ideally to offset the consumption. I've started a sketch club with a few amazing artist friends, to motivate each other into creating more & thanks to it I've drawn every day for the last 2 months.

I've also restarted my focus on regular exercise and since the start of April, I've worked out or done yoga almost every single day. Getting to a comfortable baseline, I've now started looking into ways of improving how I work out. As a welcome passive side-effect I've been getting slightly more mindful about nutrition & sugar consumption.

As part of this "falling back into rhythm", I've been reconnecting with some interests which lay dormant for a rather long time. I'm hoping to give attnetion to at least some of them over the course of this year.

Lastly, as you can see, I've re-emerged to start again working on this little internet corner of mine. There has been a change in theme, and I'm hoping many more changes and additions are to come.

Working for a company in the marketing space before the "peak period" (the time before Christmas when Black Friday, Cyber Monday and such occur) can definitely be stressful. Even without any incidents there is an increased level of tention and more focus on ensuring that everything runs smoothly. So I took the last possible opportunity to take a week off, and decided to spend that time re-igniting my passion for this little corner of the internet of mine.

While doing so, and retracing my steps through the better computing reading that I've been doing, I stumbled upon the tadi web and got inspired to re-make this whole place. Riding this wave, I'm hoping to finally give more time to actually writing down the things I'm looking into and thinking about, so they don't get lost in the ether of my mind and can instead be lost in the ether of the internet. The whole area of better computing that has been slowly building over the years strongly resonates with me and I definitely plan to explore and engage in it further.

On the hobby side of things, I've been spending a lot of my time on TTRPGs (tabletop role-playing games). I'm currently running 2 long-term games, play in one, and every other week I run one-shots at a local event. And I'm also attempting to kickstart a small local Discord server dedicated to the topic, with some success. I think that in terms of time spent, TTRPGs are definitely competing for the number one spot among my hobbies. I've been participating in this hobby for quite some time, but in the last year or two it has grown significantly and is now taking up a sizeable chunk of my free time. Sometimes I worry that maybe a bit too much, and that I might have to cut back somewhat to make it more sustainable, but I'm managing for now.
