2020-2024
Since January 1st, 2022, I’ve been studying Japanese.
I dove into GNU/Linux with Arch. Like everyone (I hope), I broke my first few installs but perservered and learned from my mistakes. I’ve really enjoyed learning about GNU/Linux and constructing my own computing environment.
As of 2025-08, I started using Gentoo on some of my machines.
Leetcode, Advent of Code, various textbooks.
I like ortholinear keyboards. It took a little bit of time to set up and learn my layers. I use a Drop Planck most of the time.
I wouldn’t consider myself an “audiophile” but I like good audio peripherals. I have collected a few pairs of IEMs and headphones:
If I were to start from scratch, and only pick one headphone and one IEM, I think I’d pick the Etymotics and Beyerdynamics. If I didn’t find the Etymotics uncomfortable after a few hours of use, I probably wouldn’t even bother with headphones.
I track my time using timewarrior when I’m doing something I consider productive. This allows me to be more aware of trends regarding how my time is utilized by allowing me to review intervals. I’ve written a few Bash scripts which I’ve discussed a little about in my blog. In short, the scripts I’ve written streamline the tracking process using dmenu and a custom status bar block.
