Howdy friend! It’s the end of October in the year of our Lorde twenty-twenty-four. This page is here to keep you—the readers—up to date with my life and times.
The goal is to be a bridge between the curation of self that is my about page, and the overshare of a daily blog. My hope is that this update finds you well, happy, and healthy mentally and otherwise.
As always I present you with present me.
Update! Since last time I've been mostly taking it as easy on myself as possible as I descend further into madness and stress and fear.
On the reading front I continue to consume Warhammer novels while I paint warhammer miniatures, though I have slowed the pace a bit. I'm 10 novels in, and currently reading an 11th.
I've been full-time with Augmentir for 9 months. It has been one of the best jobs I've held in the Tech industry. Mutual trust and respect. Shit gets built and shipped. Very few meetings, lots of just getting to it. No unreasonable expectations. Solid communication of needs.
I'm very grateful for this circumstance especially directly after leaving the worst job I've ever held, in tech or otherwise.
I completed my last minis project of 31 miniatures in a month which made up 3 warbands for Warcry.
Since then I've painted Vandus Hammerhand, Belial, The Lion, Flameseekers (Warcry), Kommandos (Kill Team), Novitiates (Kill Team), Boss Snikrot, The Blooded (Kill Team), Bazdrogg Nekk-Choppa, Imperial Navy Breachers (Kill Team), Master of Possesion, Fred's Pack (custom Warcry), Gorger Mawpack (Warcry), Squig Hog Boyz, a set of Kill Team terrain, and just today finished a Beast Boss. Going to start on 20 Beast Snagga Boyz today, once they are done, I'll have a fully painted Orks combat patrol.
And in between all that painting I have built 14 Spearhead armies for the new Spearhead game mode of Age of Sigmar 4th edition. As well as the new Kill Team box set, and a bunch of Orks and other models. I've been a busy little modelling boy since April!
I honestly thought the 31 miniatures in a month project was going to burn me out on painting, but it had the opposite effect.
You can see all these and more on my TikTok, please follow over there for the most up-to-date minis projects!
I'm also considering opening up commissions for characters and small skirmish teams.
I've lost the weight I gained at Mozilla, but then I have plateaued again due to stress about the stupid fucking world. I'm still on the journey and trying not to beat myself up for the parts I cannot control like external stressors. It's a marathon.
Please vote for the people in your lives. Please do not let a Fascist white supremacist back into the white house. Thank you!
Well that’s it for now, see ya next quarter!
