This is my now page, inspired by Derek Sivers.

What am I doing these days?

Following is the list of the things I'm doing these last couple of days/weeks.

Learning

These are the topics I'm focusing on previous weeks/months:

• Sustainability in tech topic (reading Building Green Software), still at it, even after this long. I need to get serious with it, soon.
• Daily and ever-present learning of German through various podcasts and Babel.
• Preparing to re-certificate for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator.

Reading

A couple of books I'm reading/listening to these days:

• Currently reading The Overstory by Richard Powers. It goes slow, at list for me, but it is a great read. Would definitely recommend it!
• I got into reading about practical philosophy (using philosophy in practice, every-day life). I've started reading Pierre Hadot's Exercices spirituels et philosophie antique. The English translation Philosophy as a Way of Life: Spiritual Exercises from Socrates to Foucault is a little misleading, so I had troubles finding it in Serbian. I'm still early in the book, and so far it's great!

Climbing

Same old, same old. I've climbed one hard 7a+, and was super close to climb 7b, and a 7a after 3, 4 tries! So, I'm super motivated, even though this week and the next I will not climb as regularly.

Writing

So far I've published 3 articles, counting from the last update. The fourth one is going to be published this Monday (July 8).

Working

Nothing much changed here, I guess... Regular, 9 to 5 work as a DevOps engineer on an exciting project of re-engineering an old application to a more micro-services-oriented application.

I can't wait for it to go into production!
