That's really cool, I like the serendipity of life.

On the retrospective, I usually do these on my blogs every few months. Here's the last one, but it's from May. It's usually updates about books I've read, projects I've done, new ascii arts I've drawn, etc..
Since then I've finished writing a book/booklet on internet narrative control, and posted a research on PipeWire/Audio on Linux mostly. It got popular, I received a lot of good comments about it, as it filled the void in the documentation, it's even listed in the official one now. This type of blog posts/writings that fill the gap where the documentation/topic is clumsy and hard to understand, is always good to have.
In August I started pondering about life and wrote this piece (yeah, non-tech).
In September, my company proposed to some employees to work remotely from anywhere they wanted and got us a budget for it. This is partly because the situation in the country I'm living in is precarious (socially, physically, and economically — I've lost all my savings in an economic crash). I spent the month of September in Istanbul, Turkey, with a colleague and had a wonderful time there. Afterward in October I spent two weeks in Paris, France to visit my gf and brother which recently moved there for studies/internships. I hadn't seen them in a while with the pandemic and all.
When I got back I started focusing on studying tech that would open opportunities to work next to them and algorithms to be able to passed those pesky interview questions. We've also set an alternative energy solution in my house: we installed solar panels.
I'm still checking if I could work remotely from France, from a legal perspective, for my current company and if my salary would cover the cost of living.
Maybe we should open a thread, like we discussed on IRC, about what jobs we do or work-stories. What do you think?

It's been an unusual year, to say the least. What about you?
