Currently I’m…

02G06 Back here! It’s been a couple months without updating the website. I got into caving but otherwise didn’t do much: no reading/listening to/playing music or else. I’ll be updating this website (sparely) during the following days.

02A08 I’m leaving this website on freeze for the time being. It’s been a while since I updated much anyway so I might as well take some time off and regain the joy of updating it. Thanks for visiting! I’ll be back in some time.

02A01 Happy 2024!!

01X10 Got a brief Covid strike. I wrote the second year retrospective of this website and a selection of my favourite music this year (out of 81 albums!).

01W09 Just signed a contract for a new job as a Data engineer! Details to follow. This ends my 6 month jobless period. It was … intense.

01V12 After more than a year in my reading log I managed to finish Historia del poder político en España. I would’t necessarily recommend this beast of a book but at least it feels really good to finally end it after several failed attempts. Other than that climbing a lot so I added some notes to the wiki. I also added logs on piano and climbling though I’m less and less sold on the utility of keeping those kind of logs. Plus: I want to retake bass but I’ve been demotivated lately.

01V02 I set a local database for pitch tracking for freelance writing (partly because I want to get into that and also just for fun to be honest). Here’s a post with specifications and database design

01T10 An issue with my server put down this website for a couple weeks. Sorry! Nothing new appart from that other than climbing a lot and job search stuff.

01S08 I read El Eternauta. Other that that preparing job stuff.

01R05 Added a list of scicomm clips to include in some of my CVs. I have the intention of making it grow in length in the following months.

01Q11 Read Richard Sennet’s The corrosion of character. Still not updating this website much - I’d rather focus in job-and-hobby work to keep me busy.

01P03 Finished Cultura Ingobernable. Other than that not much more happening in terms of updates of this webpage.

01N09 Not updating this website for a couple weeks - trying to disconnect a bit.

01N02 Trying out Mastodon. I might take a stab at hosting my own instance at some point this summer.

01M12 I finished a couple books more (but still compiling notes). Trying out anki for a potential exam in the mid term as well.

01L13 Added some fleshed out note son the Feyerabend book I was reading. Starting some new ones also - notes to come.

01L06 Read a book abour sex work. Also getting into climbing lately! Other than that nothing new.

01L01 Still reading and enjoying the interjob gap. I’ve got some things dancing so who knows if it’ll last much longer.

01K01 Read Azahara Palomeque’s book. Other than that still in my interjob gap.

01I07 Taking advantage if this small interjob gap to catch up with my small vegetable garden and some side projects I had deprioritized. I played Dredge but haven’t listened to much music. I’m back to practicing bass consistently though so glad about that.

01H09 Just read Crepúsculo en Budapest and Vida en un clima iliberal - a couple books about the current political state of Hungary under Orbán.

01H01 Finished Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms. I’m also getting ready for a job change lately.

01F11 I’m about halfway Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms. Other than that I played Yes your Grace. I haven’t listened to much music lately (oddly for me).

01F01 I finished Addiction by Design. On techier news: this days I’ve been reading about the PETAL tech stack and overall learning some Elixir.

01E05 Started yet! another! book!! while refusing to ever finish one of the ones I have in process. Also listened to some new albums. Other than that I still have no time or energy to update this website as much as I’d like - don’t expect much change here yet.

01B07 I made some updates on readings I’m doing. Other than that I don’t have much time or energy to do anything to the website lately - don’t expect much new stuff here for the time being.

00+00 Happy New Year!! Here’s a general recap of the year in terms of this website’s directions and a list of my personal favourite albums this year.

00Z03 A setback made me get behind in the Advent of code puzzles - I might still solve a couple before the end of the year but probably not many more. I also got into a rabbithole regarding software team management and ended up reading Basecamp’s book about their unique approach to team management - found it interesting.

00Y09 More than one week of Advent of code 2022 done! I had a setback of a couple days but I’m slowly catching up. Also finished a degrowth book and started another and added some comments on a game I was playing last week.

00Y00 I’m posting my solutions to each day’s puzzle of the Advent of code 2022 - at least as long as I go!

00X11 Finally finished Book of Rhymes. Other than that the end of the year is approaching - I started to think on what I liked about keeping this website and what I didn’t (and why!). I’ll do a retrospective post by the start of next year.

00W11 Added some quick notes on the book The Future is Degrowth.

00W04 Covid sucks. Also: glad I’m not on Twitter anymore (at least actively).

00U09 Wrote a small program to help me further systematize my learning of tension uses. I also got a small patch of land to cultivate! Very excited about that.

00S10 I’ve been fleshing out in more systematic ways my sketch post on upper structure harmonies as a way to fuel my bass exercises and expand my jazz vocabulary.

00Q08 There was an interesting debate in the Spanish climate change activism circles lately on collapsism. I summarized it for anyone not aware in this post. I finished reading Fossil capital as well (in timely fashion).

00Q03 I added a small post about the usual confusion between ecology and climate change

00N11 Added a FAQ post about the listening log I wrote some days ago. It is by far the section of this website I update more often.

00N07 Started reading Book of rhymes: The poetics of hip-hop. Enjoying it very much.

00N00 Gave a much needed spin to my CV (among other things)

00M10 Reached 100 new albums listened to this year today. I’m kind of proud. So far it’s been the section I update most often. I plan on adding more stuff and rework bits here and there as the summer comes and I get more free time.

00M06 Runing low on energy lately so not much new around the website for a while

00M02 Death by heatwave

00L03 I had to take a break for some days. Trying to focus back on music this week.

00K06 In exhaustion by work

00K02 Transcribing the bass line of Molasses (a Hiatus Kaiyote song). It will take a couple days but will post the end result here.

00J11 Planning to finish Dilla Time today.

00J10 I forced myself to listen to a couple albums I didn’t quite like and finished a small post on leaving academia I had in the drawer for a while.

00J06 Using the automatization of my music transcription workflow to procrastinate about actually transcribing music.

00J04 Thinking about how hard would it be to get an ssh app guestbook implemented for the website.

00J03 Thinking about ways to integrate Lilypond (a kind of LaTeX for music notation) into this website, so that I can post here transcriptions of solos and small melodic ideas. Also very much sleep deprived.
