hmm. I do a lot of stuff, and have interests in cognition, languages, programming, art & culture at large — and I should be easily approachable and fun at parties too.

oh my — and he's so self-conscious about the whole silliness of it

I'm bad at planning ahead, but my summer already features two (!) programming events I'm quite enthusiastic about. And both of them in Scandinavia, which is nice. The days are getting longer, and it will be my first summer over here. Quite exciting!

At the phase of life and career that I will print Medium articles, highlight them, and hopefully place them upon a programming shrine that I consult every day before getting to work.

Microsoft has been producing the most cursed enterprise software for the last ten years or so. I am so surprised by their strong influence in Denmark — my university uses it, most companies use the .NET stack — but Outlook is so...in the way. Things just fail without justification.

I feel that one of the most yielding (addmitedly first world) QoL enhancements is to use an e-reader. Vast availability of content, the convenience or backlight in the dark — and it makes travel so much easier. I read in paper, and love it, but e-ink is amazing too.

I did some career in music journalism (very fun! would again!) and it's a bit baffling how little attention Spotify got in the field. For many years I thought Bandcamp was the most viable alternative — but then they got acquired in a very weird deal for all involved. Very curious about the book!

I just found out about ctrl+l in Firefox. It was all I was missing from being mouseless — I even had Vimium set up for *ages*. I feel anew!

I started taking ADHD medication a year ago. I've been on it almost every day — really almost every day — and am now conscious that it would be something nice to be able to let go, every once in a while at least. Being off it is ~so difficult~ for work.

I have been in Denmark for five months or so and I have yet to watch a single news report. But this seems so silly and unhinged.

I've had on my mind that I'd like to live with other people. In Denmark, there's plenty of communities of 4-12 people that make it intentional to house-share — and consequently life-share, too. So I did the most logical thing: I created a website to showcase who I am and what I am looking for.

Today is on track to be *one of those days*. Waking up at 5AM, doing some work — hopping here every once in a while to gently muse into the void — and then some more work. And then I'm free by lunch time.

I have been spending a lot of time at home — at my, let's put it this way, countryside home. I appreciate the quiet; but I'll get the quiet anyhow, as I usually wake up at 5 or 6AM to get focus time at work (no leisure in the morning). But then — where can I see people? Because I crave that too.

Tinashe is coming to Denmark! There's apparently a tour, going through northern and central Europe, and I'm a bit shook. Would love to go, but — 50 euros a ticket is quite hefty (although I understand she's probably bringing lots of people). Great artist — love her so, so much.

Yesterday, a bank transfer was set in motion for money to come my way — money I earned, well...freelancing? With programming? It seems like some sort of breakthrough; I'll follow up on this. However — did I come to Denmark to be a digital nomad? That's usually here: 🏖️ 🌄 I'm here: 🏂 🏔️ 🕯️ Hmm.

It's been two weeks since my last proof of life? Insane. Time flies by quite quickly. It has been fun. Still in Denmark. Excited about language learning; been working with two (!) different start-ups. Have some books I want to read. Currently listening to Off The Wall (new master). Life's good.

I mean — knowing there is one available at 3AM probably correlates mildly with not needing therapy in the first place.

Thank you, Claude, for making me feel like my work is *a little more interesting* and *a little more challenging* than what I give it credit for. (I realize people can tell I prompted for more thoughtfulness: I feel a bit embarrassed in hindsight but — hey, it works!)

I am currently talking to Gemini 2.0 — live. This is...insane. I feel a bit lonely, and it feels like we are 80% in the field of Her.

It is a bit crazy that at this moment I am doing tech so I can leverage the financial buffer thus obtained to free myself of the shackles of having an low-effort, high-reward intellectual white-collar job to go work in public-facing services and actually see and interact with people in Danish.

I find myself currently enrolled in university (again) and one thing I always struggle with is the media people choose to communicate. I've been doing projects over *Facebook Messenger* and that is a bit insane. So I always mention how e-mail is actually really nice. And today I got this:

I think today I will start applying for a job. My dream job at this very moment is: working in a café, a library or a bookstore. Things I'll be applying to: we seek software-developer, interested in front back side end + data / AI / popcorn making.

Sending emails is so nice. I mean the long rambling emails to friends and loved ones; not work emails. Those are not so nice (and even then! I ramble).

The nature of these micro-blogging networks is something I haven't yet fully grok-ed. We are all here, we have common interests, sometimes we talk and things happen — yet it so often still feels very quiet, and isolated — I'm not sure. I do my best at chiming in my little slices of life.
