What I am up to

Keepping up with the /now page movement.

The movement

I accidentally found a page on the internet from the person who started the movement (Derek Sivers) explaining that he created a page to say what he is doing at the moment, as many people asked that.

A friend also made a similar page and he tweeted about it and within a few hours several people decided to adopt the practice, so he created a website, nownownow, to showcase people's /now pages. This is mine!


What I am doing

Studying Wordpress themes

Atualização: março/2025

At the moment I'm using it at work to design a new interface to replace the CMS we currently use and this will require a lot of knowledge to implement.

Studying Astro and VueJS

Atualização: março/2025

I already use VueJS at work and in personal projects, which suits me very well, but I needed an alternative for some cases and after looking around a bit I ended up deciding on Astro, which is the tool I used to build this page.

I've been updating myself and trying to improve my use of both tools, but I still don't consider myself an expert, despite having managed to do everything I set out to do, whether in personal or professional projects.

Creating a new page to use as a professional profile

Although this page could serve this purpose, I believe that one where I can put my portfolio would be more appropriate. I have this project on pause until the next topic on this list is resolved.

Writing a science fiction book

Atualização: março/2025

An old idea taking shape. On the book page itself, the next topic, which will feature a blog, I explain the motivation and some of the challenges encountered along the way.

After spending a good deal of time figuring out the tools for the task, which is often time invested rather than wasted, I managed to stabilize the work environment and the book has progressed.

The challenges are far greater than I initially expected, and persistence proves to be both rewarding and difficult. This isn't to say these challenges aren't rewarding—quite the opposite. With each milestone, the feeling of accomplishment is deeply rewarding.

Creating a new page to promote the book

Atualização: março/2025

Another page to create, generate content and manage, but for the book to have any chance of being successful it will be absolutely necessary. What's more, it will be fun, after all, frontend is what I do in my spare time, and in my work time too.
