Here’s what I’m currently focused on — professionally, personally, and creatively.

Music & Creative Work

• Wrapping up the final stages of post-production for the upcoming album by Ius Talionis — a long-term artistic endeavor that’s finally approaching release readiness.
• Tinkering with this digital garden. Creating some content, reliving the oldschool web2.0 experience and having some distance to social media. Simply enjoying Markdown and Hugo.

Driving License (finally)

• After over 20 years without a driver’s license, I’m currently undergoing driver training (Class B and BE).

Professional Life

• Leading the management of multiple parallel projects for a major client undergoing a radical technical modernization.
• The work is intense, high-stakes, and rewarding — involving strategy, coordination, and frequent firefighting.

Tools & Thinking

• Currently obsessed with Obsidian.md — refining my personal knowledge management system and building long-term structures for writing, documentation, and research.
• Slowly evolving a method that blends Markdown, YAML, tagging, and custom workflows — classic overengineering, but fun.

Ongoing Life Projects

• Continuing the long-haul renovation of a 1960s house that’s been structurally neglected for decades.
• Simultaneously, keeping up with the care of a large garden, which demands seasonal attention, planning, and patience.
• The eternal challenge: our multi-cat household with three distinct feline “factions”, each with trauma, quirks, and complicated social dynamics.
  • Progress is real, but slow — and measured in months, not weeks.

Background Threads

• Still deeply into documentation culture: everything gets logged, tracked, and versioned — from gym sessions to relationship insights.
• Maintaining a strong bias for structured thinking, even in private life — sometimes too structured, admittedly.
• Continually working on Scolohub, my long-term web project on centipede taxonomy and husbandry (currently in German, eventually bilingual).
