Now.
This is a Now page: what has my attention at the moment I last edited it, rather than a résumé of everything I have ever done.
The short version is that I am trying to finish one thing before starting another, which I have never once managed and am attempting again anyway.
Currently.
- Building
- Kettle, a menu-bar timer, which is on its fourth rewrite and finally feels right.
- Reading
- Christopher Alexander, The Timeless Way of Building. Slowly, and out of order.
- Learning
- Enough Norwegian to be politely useless in Bergen this autumn.
- Avoiding
- Starting anything new until Kettle ships. Holding at about seventy percent.
