Now
February is off to a tough start, I was hospitalized for several days and had to miss a bunch of work and extra cirricular stuff. I'm feeling better now, still ramping back up.
Currently, I'm still living in San Francisco, in the same apartment I've lived in since we moved there in December 2012. What can I say, it's cozy, rent-controlled and in an awesome neighborhood (near Zeitgeist). I also have the same job at YouTube that I've had all that time.
I'm still teaching a free Python class at Noisebridge on Monday nights. It's been over a month since I taught a class (the class on my birthday was covered by soeone else), so I'm excited to get back into it this Monday.
I've been putting some time into mwoffliner, the software that scrapes Mediawiki sites (like Wikipedia) to create offline ZIM files. I've also done a lot of work on Rainfall, most of which was changing the architecture significantly so that it can properly scale, in case it ever gets thousands of users. My thought is that I wouldn't want to put all this work into it, and then it suddenly hits the front page of Hacker News and breaks and I have no chance to fix it.
For reading, I'm a couple of chapters into a couple of non-fiction books, and a couple of fiction books as well. Sigh.
As far as video games, I'm still focusing on Factorio Space Age, but I kind of took a break after the holidays. I've also started a Pokémon Sapphire game, though I've never successfully "beaten" any Pokémon game.
What is a 'now' page?
A now page is like an about page, but with the scope of "right now" instead of a long view. The easiest way to think about it is: what would you tell a friend that you haven't seen in a while about what you're up to?
Where can I find a list of people with websites that feature a 'now' page?
Just go to nownownow.com. You can add your site to that directory should you choose to add a /now page to your site.
