beeps NOW!

A “now” page is a conceptual accompaniment to an about page. While an about page can tell you about my background and my identity, it doesn’t tell you about what I’m currently doing or what I currently care about. Thus, this.

Now

💻 I’m working as a frontend developer on the GOV.UK Design System team. Currently, and for the last several months, I’ve been working on the upcoming GOV.UK brand refresh. I’m also assisting with updates to the WCAG Primer.

🏥 Unfortunately, I’m dealing with a lot of health-related probing at the moment, with stacks of overlapping doctor and hospital appointments for all manner of maladies.

🧠 As a result, my mental health isn’t particularly doing the best right now.

🎶 Lately, I’ve been listening to my whole library on shuffle, rediscovering music I’ve not listened to for a while.

📺 I’m watching Mythic Quest, Jet Lag: The Game, the new Formula 1 season, various Dropout shows. As per usual, I’m rewatching Star Trek: Enterprise along with The Greatest Generation podcast.

🎮 I’ve mostly been playing OpenTTD. Finally working out how schedules work.

Recently

🇸🇪 I went to Sweden to attend NordicFuzzCon (a furry convention). It was really cool, in more ways than one, and I got to meet a lotta folks that I’d previously only interacted with online—one after nearly two decades!

❤️‍🩹 I have been really quite ill a lot lately. In February alone, I was hospitalised with a combined asthma attack and respiratory tract infection, and a few weeks later, I got severe food poisoning.

⭐ I got a lot of really nice feedback for my end-of-year review at work. That was nice.
