Hello there! Taking the time to drop a post because I want to stay in the habit of writing things here on a somewhat consistent basis and not let months (...or years) pass by without any updates on my end. So, with that having been said, here's what's been up with me!
I've hit a rough patch the past few weeks. I can't specifically point to any one thing as the cause, but I've been very low-energy and unmotivated to work on projects, create things, etc. However, I suspect I will be turning the corner on this soon, since I have not allowed any of my more self-destructive habits to emerge during this periodic trough.
As far as this website goes, it is nearly finished. I have been working on my "About" page, which has more or less turned into an auto-biography. That wasn't my goal when I started writing it, but I've grown fond of the concept. However, that has extended the completion timeline quite a bit. Once that is finished, I will return to migrating cybersecurity articles, and that will conclude archival work and buildout of the basic site. Additional features such as self-hosted email and possibly IRC will be next up on the list.
Outside of this website, I've gotten into Grand Theft Auto roleplay via FiveM (specifically PurpleRP). I've only started a week ago, but it has been a tremendous source of joy and a great way to center myself when I'm not feeling great, and it forces me to communicate with people on a more interactive level than simply exchanging DMs and infinitely refreshing Discord channels waiting for something to happen. The fact that all interaction must take place within the game is a huge benefit because it means if I want to know how things are going, I have to sign in and use my ears and mouth to communicate with people in real time.
That's really all I have to say for now. Didn't want to reach the three week mark for this gap, and I'm glad I took the time to write this.
I'll update you all again soon enough.
Be well!
