Now
Last updated on .
A now page is a little glimpse into the things that occupy my time. It's a little bit like a diary, but paired down in my case to an overview of things I am doing or have done. Typically, things in life that would be logged here progress slowly, so don't expect changes every day, but I'll try to update it once a month at least.

Working on...
At work
Your regular patching, maintenance and helpdesk escalations, plus:
- Windows 11 roll-out has begun after a short adjustment following the release of 24H2 - seems to be going well so far, though we're under 5% rolled out to so a small sample size
- Auditing and security are still the talk of the town - spent a while this month writing and sorting just under 600 individual projects (some small, some big) that will get us a pretty good way toward where I want us to be
Online
Anything with an internet orientation deserves its own little section. This includes things to do with this website, there's always stuff happening on here, even if a lot of it isn't visible
- Everything has slowed down here - too many work and home distractions
At home
The home, the family, and other AFK things.
- Kid is back to school, wife is back to work, the fun of the summer break is VERY over. Every year things seem to get more hectic and stressful. Why is that?
- Looked at another house, considered moving... but it wouldn't work. We'd rather put the effort in here. For now. Sunk cost fallacy? Maybe.
- Kids parties - bad for your hearing
Relaxing by...
Reading
- Pale - [ongoing] I read this at every opportunity. It's fantastic, as all Wildbow serials are, and I'm so glad I saved it so I could read it all once it was finished. The Wandering Inn and Super Supportive will be resumed once Pale is finished
Gaming
- World of Warcraft (retail) - [ongoing] I've not played much but what I have managed to squeeze in is some WoW
Watching
- Heartstopper S3 - [complete] One of the most beautiful shows ever. Season 3 is different. Still beautiful in its way. Everyone needs to watch this.
- Brassic - [complete] Season 4 finished, that's all that is on netflix. So great.
- Changing Ends - [complete] Great and easy watch comedy show, finished season 2. Was pretty good!
- The Bear S3 - [complete] Season 1 and 2 are incredible. Season 3... I was waiting for it to begin when it ended. What was the point? It could have been two, maybe three episodes. The Tina episode was top tier though.
