### Day-to-Day

-on that front so I'm not making that much progress with anything else at the

### Hobbies and Interests
-I am further exploring tea as a hobby and I've recently taken an interest in
-deep-diving into the OpenBSD operating system.
+I have taken an interest in expanding my programming abilities. I feel that the
+final year of university and the gap between that and work has resulted in my
+programming abilities and knowledge degrading. I want to gather a wide breadth
+of knowledge, so I can find something I really want to dig deep into.
+
+I am also quite interested in topics of sustainability, repair, and making what
+I have work without buying new things. Inspired by various media I have
+consumed, especially [100r.co](http://100r.co).

+gaming, and so on, I just find it relaxing and fun to stream the progress. It's
+also less likely to result in me being distracted by something.
