The post-lockdown work rave, abuse, and shortened fuses
This article is a mix of personal stories, social & interpersonal psychology, and technology (with some drive-by remarks about Free & Open Source software). I originally drafted this article in the fall of 2021 and winter of 2022, but I needed more time to rewrite it a fourth time (because why not). So, while this…

Getting Things GNOME 0.6 released
Yes, ladies, gentlemen, and seemingly-dead plants, it’s happening: after over 10 months of incremental work from the community, we are now releasing version 0.6 of our favorite personal productivity app, Getting Things GNOME. This release comes with some new features, lots of code improvements, many bugfixes and UX refinements (I am told that the “Better…

Year MMXXI in 8 minutes
Near the end of 2020, I put a lot of thought into reevaluating my business’ value proposition, strategy, and processes. It’s a good thing I did that back then, because 2021 was quite different from 2020; I had much less time to “deepthink”, and I spent a majority of 2021 on an intense work treadmill,…

Year MMXX summarized in 7 minutes
For some reason, I didn’t get to see much people, and didn’t have much client work revenue throughout that year.

As nobody needs to read another editorial about the pandemic, I will attempt to…

Year MMXVI in 1 ½ minute
This is part 2 of my seven-years retrospective. It is again kept extremely short and high-level. I took down my online personal Interaction Design portfolio back then, leaving just a summary page. I completed my 2nd term on the board of the GNOME Foundation, and wrote a report summarizing my duties that year.At the end…

Year MMXV summarized in 2 ½ minutes
I’m doing a quick retrospective on the last seven years (you’ll see why later). In this first part, here’s a short overview of what I did in 2015 (2 to 3 minutes reading time): In the spring of 2015, I wrote a blog post reporting on my first term (2014-2015) as the president of the…

New photography portfolio
Side note: I originally planned to publish part III of my “upgrade treadmill trilogy” on January 31st, 2022, but something unexpected came up in recent days, which might make me rewrite the majority of that blog post for the 3rd time, so… holding pattern for now. It’ll probably happen later in February-March. In the meantime,…

After much technological progress and considerations, I now have the tools to make this work in a way that meets my expectations.

Introducing Regento, marketing for FLOSS-centric companies and transitioning industries
In this blog post, I’m taking a quick break from my GTG blogging frenzy to talk about another one of my non-software projects from the past few months years (estimated reading time: 3 ½ minutes). Some may remember I previously introduced the Atypica collective as a dedicated place where I could showcase some of my…
