## Currently
- Working on this site
- Doing small renovations and fixes to the house
- Learning Chicken Scheme and using it to build [desmoctl](/projects#desmoctl) and [this website](/archive/deploying-the-garden)
- Reading _Category Theory for Programmers_ by Bartosz Milewski
## Recently
- Purchased a 100 m2 terraced house
- Upstreamed some fixes to [Spliit](https://spliit.app/)
- Started a project of reading more books. I never read much growing up so this is something I have to learn to do. Lately I've been into learning about programming languages with "big ideas", i.e. Lisp (programs as data), Forth (stack focus), Smalltalk (OOP).
## Reading
### 2024
- _A Retargetable C Compiler: Design And Implementation_ by David Hanson, Christopher Fraser. The book defines the `lcc` ANSI C compiler, which I have considered writing a custom backend for in the [ATK16](/projects#ATK16) project.
- [Beej's Guide to Networking Concepts](https://beej.us/guide/bgnet0/)
- _How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age_ by Dale Carnegie, a 2012 adaptation of the classic
- _Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid_ by Douglas Hofstaedter
### 2023
