<section style="color: var(--text-dim);">updated: July 15, 2026</section>

This ia a <code>/now</code> page! It's meant to answer the question
"What are you up to these days?". It's a public declaration of
priorities and projects; goals and interests. In my opinion, it helps
the web feel a bit more connected; a bit more human.

<code>/now</code> was started by Derik Sivers, here is
<a href="https://sive.rs/now">Derik's <code>/now</code> page</a>.
You can read more about it at

		<h2>Looking for a job</h2>
		<p>
			I got laid off! I have been unemployed for three (3) months. Drat!
			So I am going through the terrible, no good process of job-search
			and trying to survive.
		</p>
	</div>

	<div>
		<h2>coriander</h2>
		<p>
			This is a relatively new-to-me server. It's a colocation I have
			in a datacenter where an old coworker works. He has yet to charge
			me for it, which is lovely~
		</p>
		<p>
			I am working on moving dreamy.place to coriander, as well as
			the little services and things that support it/run with it. Which
			means git.dreamy.place will move over, too.
		</p>
		<p>
			I've taken the opportunity to learn some about Docker. I moved
			amble.quest to coriander a few weeks ago. It was not without it's
			problems, but it's table now and in Docker :)
		</p>
		<p>
			I'm also playing with virtual machines. I'm learning about
			Cloud Hypervisor, which I really like so far. I configured
			the networking with <code>nftables</code> for the first time,
			which was fun! I'm writing a little program called
			<code>september</code> that is meant to manage instances of
			Cloud Hypervisor. I'm excited :)
		</p>
	</div>

	<div>
		<h2>dreamy.place; ∞</h2>
		<p>
			∞ is the directory/git repository that contains this website
			and the text on it <i>(but not the images/assets)</i>.
			I want to change the design and feeling of this here website,
			so I've put it here. It's an intention, and I'm starting on it
			by creating this page &lt;3
		</p>
	</div>

	<div>
		<h2>Heartbeat</h2>
		<p>
			I want to "finish" Heartbeat, whatever <i>finish</i> means :)
		</p>
		<p>
			For now, finish means creating all the clients I set out
			to write, the most important of which are macOS/iOS, web,
			and Linux. Android and Windows are lower priority because
			I do not use that platforms much.
		</p>
		<p>
			I've had a good time learning Swift and SwiftUI while
			working on the darwin apps <i>(macOS/iOS)</i>. They are
			almost to a point where I would feel comfortable switching
			to working on the Linux and CLI clients. I am scared of
			GTK4, but it's what I plan to use on Linux, so we'll see
			how I do~
