What is Linus up to right now?

This is my now page. I treat it as a check-in with myself, revisiting it every so often to see if I have the right focus.

Last updated . Related to, but not the same as, my life todo list.

There's family, of course

The family is centered these days! And as they say - a family in harmony means a happy dad. (Maybe "they" don't say that, but "they" should.)

Sam is doing great in school. He's eight and has started biking to school himself. So weird, and cool, seeing him grow up.

Lily is three years old. She's navigating the "I'm big now, and can do whatever Sam can, except I can't". They play together really well. I'm incredibly proud.

We moved to what we believe will be our forever home. It's located next to a really big park area ("Rekreationsområde" in Swedish - not really a park, more of a wild area used for recreation). It has plenty of space for the family to grow. Lovely.

Jule has finally made the decision to cut her work hours. She's been talking about it for years. I'm so happy that she finally does it and invests in her own happiness. She's still so amazing.

Work has shifted, but it's still work

I've changed companies from IKEA to SportAdmin. I joined them first as a developer, but was asked to shoulder a management role after a few months. After some back and forth I agreed. After that things moved fast - the company suddenly decided to reorganize the engineering department. I'm okay with handling that, but it wasn't expected. This type of work is why I eventually left IKEA. We'll see what the future holds.

I'm more creative than ever

Still working on You're a dad. The main thing left to produce is the art - the writing and programming is done.

The new house needs lots of DIY. I'm doing that, and simultaneously building out a studio for myself in a dedicated room in the basement, as well as a workshop in the garage. Letting it take time.

I need to work on sharing my projects more.

Other personal stuff

I'm turning 42 this year. I'm the answer to life, universe, and everything.
