Now

This is a now page and this is what I'm currently up to:

It's March already? Can't wait until the sun comes out again and temperatures are above 10 °C again. Lots of events this month in my calendar. Concerts, theater and of course work.

My focus this month is helping the rest of the Swiss Laravel Switzerland team add new features to the website.

Initially planned for February, I also would like to release the next major version of git-auto-commit (v7).

January will be focused on work and preparing the next Laravel Switzerland meetup and my trip to Amsterdam in February. I also will spend some days in Vienna.

I also want to add more little details to my "Untitled Read-It-Later App". It has become my go-to read it later app for the past months now.

When I get the time, I'm still tinkering on my "Untitled Read-It-Later App". However, most of my energy is currently spent on day-job tasks.

Also spent October and November enjoying life more. Going out with friends or inviting friends for lunch or dinner.

August has been a whirlwind. Spent almost a week bed rid with the summer flu; but also took one week of vacation and spend my time in the mountains or in local parks.

At work, a sharp deadline is approaching and with it new tasks and sub-projects that need to be finishing.

I almost spent no time on my "Untitled Read-It-Later App" or my blog. Let's see if I can publish one blog post in September. 🤞

Summer is in full swing and I will probably spent most of my free time in our local park with friends or reading a book.

Just a few days ago, I've started working on my "Untitled Read-It-Later App" again and made great progress. Would like to keep that momentum and create an invite system, so I can safely share the project with friends and control, who gets to use it.

And there are also some blog post drafts that neat finishing touches.

Last month I've silently added the micro blogging section and published a first short post: a review about the Able Cary Daily Plus.

This month will be a busy one with lots of social activities during – hopefully – warm summer days. (Summer in Switzerland has been awful with only like 3-4 good days so far.)

However, I still want to work a bit on side projects:

I finally want to go through the open issues on git-auto-commit and close issues that are no longer relevant or where no further feedback has been given.
I want to work more on my untitled-read-it-later-app and finish the audio player I've been working on.
1-2 blog posts are also in the queue to be written.

After migrating this blog to Eleventy I'm now full of energy for writing blog posts again. In the next few weeks I want to …

document how I use Shiki for syntax highlighing
what my backup strategy is and what software I use
add a micro blogging section to the site to share shorter thoughts

Meanwhile I'm still working on my read-it later app from time to time. Next few sessions are dedicated on building a landingpage and invite system.

Updating this page after a long long time. :D

Have been working on a new side-project since November 2023 when I had a free evening: my own read-it later app. Deployed the first working version and started dog-fooding it.
- My goal is to invite some close friends to an early alpha my mid-year.
Currently reading "The Dark Forest" in the Three Body Problem trilogy.
Can't wait until summer. Last few days winter had a comback and it snowed for like 3 days straight.

Getting back into a habit of daily journaling.
Try to finish a couple of article drafts that are lingering in iA Writer for a while.
Getting back into a daily meditation habit.
Still working on that "paint by number" painting.

Start working more in the open and share on Twitter what I'm currently working on.
I want to start working on 3.screeenly.com again. The docs could use some love. I also would like to open source some of the internal stuff.
Figure out what the next few years shall look like for me.
Finish "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" (Am already +120 hours into this game).
Keep my daily meditation streak going for the remainder of the year.
Finish a painting I'm currently working on.
(Try to finish reading "Thinking Fast & Slow" (4th attempt?!)).
