Here’s what I’m currently up to:

September 2021

💻 Currently working on:

• Migrating a Magento 1 site to Sylius (at Kaweb).

📚 Reading:

• "The Omega Project" by Steve Alten. (Amazon Link)
• "The 4 Hour Body" by Tim Ferris (Amazon Link)
• "The Wind's Twelve Quarters" by Ursuka K. Le Guin (Gollanz SF Hardback) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• "Clanlands - Whisky, Warfare, and a Scottish Adventure Like No Other" by Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish (Audible) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this and am looking forwards to the Men in Kilts series on Amazon Prime soon.
• "The Silmarillion" by J.R.R Tolkien ⭐️⭐️⭐️
  Tough going but eventually finished it. If you want to understand the history of Tolkien's Middle Earth then this is the book for you.
• "The Sandman" by Neil Gaiman (Audible)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman (Audio-book on Audible) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Audio-book on Audible) ⭐️⭐️⭐️
• "Artemis" by Andy Wier (Audio-book on Audible) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• "The Obstacle Is The Way" by Ryan Holiday [Amazon Link] ⭐️⭐️
• "Hidden Wyndham: Life, Love, Letters" by Amy Binns [Amazon Link] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  I'm a huge fan of John Wyndham's novels and enjoyed this book about his life and loves. Amy Binns has done a remarkable job of finding information on a man that kept his personal life so secret.
• "The Unicorn Project" by Gene Kim [Amazon link] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  A must for any software developer wanting to take the next step in their career.
• "How Not To Be A Professional Racing Driver" by Jason Plato [Amazon link] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  An absolute hoot from start to the end. Jason is as funny off the track as he is fast on it.

My August goal of walking 100 miles in a month was too ambitious due to time and blisters. I did manage to walk 62 miles which isn't too bad considering.

I plan on keeping this up in September. I'm also tracking my weight and eating sensibly. I've lost 6.7kg (14.7lbs / 1 stone) since the start of August.

The concept of a ‘now’ page was inspired by Derek Sivers’ Now pages. A list of other 'Now' pages can be found at http://nownownow.com/
