/Now

This is my /Now page, after Derek Sivers's proposal.

I've recently back in San Francisco after a few months on the east coast.

I'm doing a lot of generative art, some (but nowhere near all of which, yet) you see all over this site, as well as having a few pieces published as cover and internal illustrations for a not-for-profit poetry anthology published by UCSF's Poetic Medicine program at the MERI Center for Palliative Care at Mt Zion.

On the music front, for the last few months I've been practicing playing the lyre, as well as still regularly playing guitar, saxophone and clarinet. I have a 24-string lyre and expect to have a video or two posted in the reasonable near future.

Professionally, I've been working doing general business IT support, WordPress and FileMaker development for a local managed services IT company, as well as taking on freelance projects in same, while I look for my next full-time opportunity. (Pitch: please check my resume on https://www.kupietz.com if you have or are aware of any opportunities.)

I also have scaled up my personal IT projects. I have been doing a ton of web development, mostly visible on this site and on my Github, and have spent the last two years slowly divorcing from various service providers and becoming my own: I currently host all my websites on my own server at home—you are fetching these electrons from a small computer in my living room. My email accounts and server security (CDN and proxying) are still hosted by commercial third-party hosts but that's all I'm still relying on outside services for.

For more detail than that, see the latest news page, or just check the front page of this site for new posts.

    • Add "found footage crap" movie review category and add to mctagmap. Also make all use of $name in title attributes in mctagmap use strip_tags($name) because it wasn't.
  • 2025oct6
    • Added !important to .entry-content > .slideshow-wrapper, .wide {margin-inline: calc(-10vw + 24px)} because still wasn't working for tables due to margins set in default theme css
    • Added width: auto !important; to .entry-content > .slideshow-wrapper, .wide {margin-inline: calc(-10vw + 24px);display: block;} in theme CSS to make tables, which the theme default css sets to 100%, wider when .wide applied. Fix this if it messes up gallery widths.
