This is my now page, last updated on October 10th, 2024.

I am so bad at keeping this page up to date. Should probably set a reminder or something. So what is happening right now?

Family

As ever, I am trying to maximize family time. Hanging out and doing stuff with my daughters and documenting our adventures together along the way is so much fun. One of the things I want to do until the end of the years it teaching them how to swim.

Ulya still plans to go back to university next year to become a midwife. This will bring a whole set of challenges, especially organization-wise.

Photography & Travel

Photoblogging is as strong as it has ever been. I started a new streak on January 1st and the goal is to post at least one photo per day, every day, for the rest of the year. Project 366.

Speaking of the 366 project: I just finished the first of four zines (one for each quarter), which will contain all of the images I posted on the blog. I even had some readers of the blog order a copy for themselves. I am in the process of finishing part II and III and am updating part IV each day after posting to the blog.

Haptiq & picu

I am having the most fun working on picu. I recently implemented star rating and filtering, which will be released soon. We also have relaunched our website recently.

We have a couple of projects that need to go live until the end of the year and we will hopefully get around talking about some of them on our Haptiq website. We build some really cool and interesting stuff and we should be talking about it more! (Well, at all!)

Looking foward to attending WordCamp Karlsruhe. Very curious about the mood and what people have to say about the current WordPress drama.

Fitness

Working out has been on the backburner recently. Really struggeling with getting some momentum going. 🫤

Miscellaneous

I just finished Echos of Wisdom, which was really fun. Definitely way less time consuming than Tears of the Kindgom, which I still haven’t finished. (There’s just so much to explore.)
