Now

This is a now page; it’s a short summary of what I’m up to.

Projects

I’ve cut way back on my projects and have been more focused on other things (see below). On the previous version of the site I wrote a couple of posts about setting up a self-hosted Nextcloud server. Since then, I’ve decided to get completely away from self hosting. I may write more on that in the near future when I have time, but for now this is my only self-hosted project.

Speaking of that, I got tired of having to manage Wordpress and the recent PHP2shell shitshow validated my thinking. I just can’t be bothered with the trouble of managing the server, etc. Instead, I’m trying out a static site using Publii. It’s fully FOSS and thus far works fine. My needs are pretty basic; I don’t even have any posts up right now, though may add some back eventually.

Otherwise, I’ve pretty much managed to rid myself of big tech nonsense, which is something else I should probably write about at some point. I’m not quite back to the 90s tech-wise, but close enough that I’m reasonably happy with my setup.

Coaching, and a Newsletter

Over the past year or so I’ve been shifting a bit away from tech and toward coaching. I’ve been a runner and cyclist (more or less) since 2011 and have embarked on a path toward being a fitness and wellness coach. I am an NASM Certified Nutrition Coach with a Behavior Change Specialization. I’m currently working on my Certified Personal Trainer course and hope to have that wrapped up before the end of the year.

Along those lines, I’ve also started a wellness and fitness newsletter focused on folks who want to get in better shape but don’t want to deal with gym bros or influencer nonsense. You can check it out at wellevery.day.

What I’m Watching/Playing

Not much, to be honest. The CPT course has been taking a lot of time and I haven’t been able to do much else. I’m hoping to play Control: Resonant over the holidays, but need to finish replaying both Alan Wake games before I do.

Someday I’ll finish my Cyberpunk 2077 replays and might get around to Ghost of Yotei. I have a habit of playing games when they are about four years old.
