I like to work on complex environment and domains. I want to understand the jobs customers need to do and design a frictionless solution to help them reach their goal. I have a background in computer science and web development. This has always been an advantage when collaborating with developers. This website ------------ According to the oldest invoice I could find for my domain, this website has been my html and CSS gym since 2009. While redesigning this in 2025, it was interesting to see how the design have evolved over time, thanks to wayback machine. ### Colophon Currently (April 26, 2025), I am using a static site generator, eleventy, to generate the pages, then I commit them to bitbucket and have netlify automatically build and deploy the website. ### Website whishlist Going forward I plan to embrace as much of the indie web as possible. * Protect it from AI bots as best as I can * Poison the AI well * Add service worker? (unsure if I need it really) * Webmentions support * Support h-entry and other microformats giorgiopretto.com /now Updated April 26, 2025 As part of the now project I share what I am up to. The plan is to update this page every few months, or whenever something become obsolete. So, what am I doing right now? (April 26, 2025) * After working on an interesting automotive and HMI redesign project at 2550 Engineering as a consultant, I am looking for what to do next in my career. * Redesigning this website. While applying for some jobs. Let's hope I don't break the links to resume and portfolio! * As usual I am struggling to have a good workout routine. I keep going to Taiji, and I finally finished learning the Cheng style. I have a subscription to the swimming pool and the gym but I have not been able to go too often. Thinking of getting back into road/gravel biking. * Despite my love for baking I realized carbs are really not good for me, so I am taking a break from making too many cakes. madhavrkumar.com /now Updated April 25, 2025 What am I doing now? 2025-04-25# ----------- I turned 30 today. 2025-03-30# ----------- Spring has sprung!

While the whole world seems to turn to fascism and ignores the huge problem our planet has with our existence, I try to stay sane by consuming as less news as possible (sometimes it works out great, sometimes it doesn’t) and focusing on the things I can actually do: spread as much kindness as possible ### Privacy | #unplugTrump | re-owning data A couple of months ago I started to use my power as a consumer (and my eternal love for privacy) and began using more privacy friendly, ethical and local companies. Needless to say that the change in US government speeds up that process - especially for tech services. There is the hashtag #unplugtrump trending throughout the Fediverse (and beyond) where people share tips and help each other to switch away from US big tech services to more privacy friendly, often EU based, services. Since then I managed to migrate my cloud backup from Amazon to my local NAS last month and continued to collect blu-rays of my favourite movies for my home cinema station. A slow but steady growing collection of the finest movies that spark joy watching. And now I can watch them whenever I want - and in better quality! And I moved my subscribers from my old newsletter system over to my Ghost blog. I’m pretty happy with my progress so far. I de-Googled my main and my backup phone, emptied my Amazon cloud, and moved docs to Cryptpad since the beginning of the year. I signed up for Libro.fm, a wonderful DRM-free Audible alternative that lets you support your local bookstore. E-Mail and browser is already safe, messengers as well (Telegram ditched last year, WhatsApp this year) and cloud storage also EU-based and E2EE. So far, the main tasks seem to be completed. I sum up my efforts in a blog post about that in the near future. ### Leaving / rethinking Social Media After writing about the possible consequences of leaving Meta I closed all personal accounts on Instagram. Now only my business account is left and it gives me headaches. I don’t get much clients there but I fear losing connection with the industry. This already happened as I missed a deadline for a talk proposal - because it was only communicated on Instagram and not via email. Revamping my account and let it rot is still something I consider. Maybe link to blog posts from time to time. But maybe I just have to die this death. Especially to free up headspace. I’m rethinking social media (and my usage of it) in general at the moment. The way the fediverse works, the way that feels good again to use it, is so far away from what’s daily life on big tech. At the moment I’m collecting thoughts on that for another blog post. ### Blogging I fucking love blogging and if you are fancy, head over to blog.sturmsucht.de (EN) and take a look. The first few posts were kind of heavy as the world’s situation has left its impact in my mental health and business life, but I’m happy to have my motivation and energy back. World is terrible, but I won’t let it bring me down. Writing is a wonderful way for me to express myself. What’s next? ------------ Catching up with daily work and pimping my website further more to be less dependent on social media and local groups. So much stuff to do, so little immediate impact. But I keep going. A few trips are taking place during the next weeks! Planning for South Germany and London. Speaking of trips, I really need to set up dates for the upcoming workshops and workations. The year is moving fast these days. tommorris.org /about Updated April 26, 2025 TIL: track changes in Emacs with highlight-changes-mode 2025-04-26 Getting Emacs to tell me what I haven’t yet made worse.
