My "now" page

Updated: November 26th, 2025

I try to spend as much time away from internet as possible. I have grown to dislike it. Hacker culture is long gone. I'm still here because I need some online presence due to my software developer career, and a bunch of connections with friends and groups that use some online chat (Facebook, Discord, or Instagram). I also need to do my taxes online and pay bills.

I love travelling and visiting new places. My last trip was to Cyprus in November 2026. It's an island in Mediterranean Sea. Cyprus has amazing weather. Every day it was sunny. I ran Larnaka half-marathon at the end of my trip. Downside of the island are frequent earthquakes. The strongest one I experienced had strength 5.3. The hotel building was shaking like crazy.

I tried new dancing styles in September: reggaeton, line dances, and shuffle. Out of these three I quit reggaeton (too hard) and line dances (too easy). I have been learning shuffle (and cutting shapes) since then. We have a small group in Tartu (called Lõunaraver) and meetups every week.
