<p>lookie:</p>
<div class="ulist"><ul><li><a href="https://sfz.tools/sfizz/">sfizz</a>: Open source soundfont player using the .sfz format. I like it!</li><li><a href="https://www.qutebrowser.org/">qutebrowser</a>: Maybe the most promising alternative to major browsers.
Keyboard-driven, but not restrictively so; I’ve started using it as of late, coming from being a
long-time Firefox user, and I’ve really gotten into it.</li><li><a href="http://cclub-flying.dsl.gr.jp/products/xmascot/">XMascot</a>: The most adorable program I’ve seen yet.
I’ve tried to rehabilitate it a bit at <a href="https://git.mutiny.red/somasis/xmascot/">somasis/xmascot</a>,
based off of the <a href="https://github.com/nyan-/xmascot">FreeBSD port’s upstream</a>.
Featuring my own attempt at translating the Japanese text to English, since the documentation had
much more detail in its original Japanese than the English versions originally included.</li></ul></div>
<p>things I’m up to:</p>
<div class="ulist"><ul><li>I released some music… <a href="https://somasis.bandcamp.com/track/chameleon">somasis - CHAMELEON</a>.</li><li>One of my partners got a PS5 and I’ve been playing NieR: Automata and NieR: Replicant the past
few months. They’re amazing and I love the story and the universe that’s been created within the
games.</li><li>I stumbled into learning some Perl; I wrote two scripts, <a href="http://git.mutiny.red/somasis/me/tree/bin/mimefilter?id=810387ef63a19c509411733b98f19e2eb61c40b1">mimefilter</a>, and a
script for sending files to the <a href="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/trash-spec/trashspec-latest.html">trash</a>, as specified by freedesktop.org.
I haven’t really polished up the trash script much (nor am I using it instead of <code>rm</code>, yet…)
or else I’d link it here.</li><li>Related to the above two points: it turns out getting medication for long-undiagnosed ADHD helps.
:)</li></ul></div>

<div class="ulist"><ul><li><a href="http://blog.spencermounta.in/2020/should-we-stop/index.html">Should we stop?</a>, a really beautifully
put together piece thinking about how maybe the world must change before software is good.</li><li><a href="https://tedium.co/2021/01/13/linksys-wrt54g-router-history/">The Default Router</a>, an article about
how the Linksys WRT54G got famous.</li><li><a href="https://archive.org/download/90ssamplecds/">90ssamplecds</a>, a collection of questionably legal
sample packs popular with producers in the 1990s. Drink each time you hear the Amen break being
passed off as a royalty-free sample!</li><li><a href="https://www.ledger-cli.org/">ledger</a>, a double-entry accounting system. I recently start using it
after some time using <a href="https://firefly-iii.org/">Firefly III</a>, which is quite nice but I was curious
about plain-text accounting stuff.</li></ul></div>

vague experience working with C when it comes to patching other people’s projects, but not much
in terms of writing from scratch.</li><li>Hopefully I will participate in <a href="https://adventofcode.com/2020">Advent of Code</a> for the first time
