now

This is my “now page”. Last updated 30 July 2026.

coding

I've recently rewritten this website in Common Lisp! I'm using the sta6 static site generator. I wanted to learn a new programming language and I know Lisp is supposed to be quite strange, so I gave it a go. I haven't migrated everything over - I had quite a complicated /misc page that used a lot of JavaScript to generate, but I'm working on moving that over to Lisp.

reading

I'm reading the Liveship Traders Trilogy. Almost done - it's really good. I might start Game of Thrones next, since I've always been curious.

games

I've been playing all sorts of stuff, but mainly Rimworld. This game has been an absolute nuke for my productivity.

As for retro gaming:

• Pokémon Unbound
• Chrono Trigger
• Racing Gears Advance

I'm not sure why but most retro games I enjoy happen to be GBA games. I've also heard good things about the development scene on GBA, which might be a fun project eventually.

uni

Finished all of my coursework and exams. Now working on my disseration on numerical linear algebra.
