Now
As of September, 2026
Valheim 1.0 is out! I've got a new server up and we're doing a fresh start with a new world and new characters. The full grind from start to finish. I expect to spend every free evening here for a while—it'll probably be a while until we reach Deep North. The game was recently reviewed on NRK and received a 6/6!
Considering dropping all plans to get my kitesurfing app Vindkast released on Google Play, and instead only releasing it on F-Droid and as a PWA. I originally wanted to release it on Google Play to reach the audience and make installation easy and frictionless, of course, but I'm no longer sure it's worth it. Keep Android Open!
The kitesurfing season is still on, though. The water's getting colder, but it's still comfortable in a wetsuit. I can ride upwind now and am practicing transitions, meaning there's so much more to gain out of each session.
Putting up Christmas lights. Yes, it's early, but here's the thing: Our second child is due in November, so better prepare it now that we actually have some free time. Nothing will turn on until December 1. This year we'll decorate the entire house beneath the roof, using just regular warm light LED chains, and of course automate it with Home Assistant. Not sure about the full WLED strip, I'm tempted to put that up too, but isn't it a bit much?
Still settling in to my new role in a fully remote startup. I'm also running a few web hosting side projects, but they've mostly gone into maintenance mode now. Anyway, who's got time for side projects when Valheim 1.0 is out?
