Recently
- Purchased a 100 m2 terraced house
- Upstreamed some fixes to Spliit
- Started a project of reading more books. I never read much growing up so this is something I have to learn to do. Lately I’ve been into learning about programming languages with “big ideas”, i.e. Lisp (programs as data), Forth (stack focus), Smalltalk (OOP).
