Now
As of 16th of September, 2024
Very personal things
I am expected to become a father within two weeks. Jesus, that is a life-changer.
Work
Still the same: protein science, SAR-driving assays, small molecules. However, I developed an interest in digital infrastructure to support small biotech and wet lab R&D.
Study and projects
On a quite superficial level, I am fiddling with BSD systems. The experience is different from playing with minimal Linux distros.
As a consequence, I am starting to build a homebrew NAS/htpc.
Reading
I have a horrible habit of reading multiple books in parallel, primarily because I don’t want to focus much during the evenings and weekends.
It’s a little stupid to talk about books before finishing them, but here’s what I’m reading now:
- “Steve Jobs” by Walter Isaacson — actually, a boring read. I’m not even interested in the topic, but it puts me to sleep rather efficiently.
- “Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime” by Peter Gotzsche — the title sounds like a conspiracy theory, but this is a serious work by a renowned clinical scientist. Almost finished, and it is a great read.
- “Chemistry and Pharmacology of Drug Discovery” — just started.
- “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” by Shoshana Zuboff — a little heavy. Generally, I am right-wing, but I can’t not to agree with most of the points in this book.
Playing
- “Dragon Age: Origins” — did not play it before.
(…I started “Baldur’s Gate 3” a year ago, and still haven’t finished it.)
Sport
I continue to run 5K 2-3 times per week and do 2-3 workouts at the outdoor gym, but I’m not sure how long the weather will last. My previous attempts to go to indoor gyms regularly were sad.
