I’m intending on writing more frequently on the journal after a hiatus of over 10 years. A lot has changed in my life in the interim, and I thought I’d get you up to speed.
Personally, I met someone and lived with her for a few years in Oslo. Then, we got married. Then we moved to London. Then we had a baby boy. Then we went through four miscarriages. Then we had another baby boy. Then we bought a home. And around 10 years in, our marriage fell apart. I’ve healed from this and am a happy part time single father now. I have a ton of fun with the boys.
Professionally, I don’t do applied-mathsy things at universities anymore. I work entirely on the web. I helped start and run a fintech startup. It’s been alive for over 9 years and doing pretty well now!
I’ve created and maintained (and abandoned) ton of projects in the meanwhile, from tumour detecting bots to command-line Spotify control scripts, to generated ethnic art and visualisations of tables of finite elements.
My mental health is still a bit shaky, though it’s significantly better than it was in my twenties. I am a much braver and kinder person.
There, now you’re all caught up and the show can resume.
