What's Happening In The Now * 📖 **Writing:** [_The Textbook Case: Part 3_] * 🖥️ **Tinkering:** Figuring out GitHub * 🎮 **Playing:** _The Outer Worlds_ & _Borderlands 2_ * 😴 **Practicing:** Not sleeping (still awesome at it) Same shit, different day(s). I ~~recently~~ wired hVmark functionality into this page to replace the hard-coded HTML that was used before. The implementation isn't as... obtuse as /nexus, so it's a lot more accessible on this side, which is important for a page that's meant to be intermittently edited. **_AMENDMENT:_** It's been a bit since I wrote the above, and I gotta say... hVmark has made things **so** much easier. To whoever created hVmark: Thank you, good sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar. * :: The Year of The Linux Desktop * :: New Year, Same Lag * :: hVmark Is Officially FOSS * :: Subtennial Incoming... * :: "Life Has Many Doors, Ed-Boy" * * * ### // The Year of The Linux Desktop It's been said for so many years, but with Microsoft tripping over itself to lose as many customers as possible with peak efficiency, it seems like everyday we're getting closer and closer to it being a reality in 2026. Despite that, I'm left wondering: was this really a goal? Does the Linux community actually _want this_? I'm unsure. Don't get me wrong: Valve has done great things when it comes to gaming on Linux, but that's kinda just how computer science is. The first automations were either clocks, crop watering systems, or opponents at chess; the power of a computer can best be measured by how much you can game on it. No, I'm talking about _casual users_. The kind of people who don't RTFM, and won't bother to Google the acronym when they inevitably see it. Personally, I think it's about time that people started realizing how bad Windows has been. With more casual users coming into the pipeline, hopefully their experience will inspire them to learn more about how their devices function. * * * ### // New Year, Same Lag Arthur Dent couldn't get a hang of Thursdays; I can't get a hang of the immediate time after the new year begins. Even in the best of situations, that specific period of time feels more overwhelming than it needs to be. And not even in the New-Years-Resolution-pressure way, either (but I'm sure it doesn't help). There's an entire year ahead of us and whether or not you started it on the right foot, it's happening and it's happening now. Regardless of how much I get done on the first week, I always feel behind and like I'm still fighting to catch up. Of course, it's probably just the anxiety talking. You know, I wonder if Arthur Dent is a distant relative of Harvey. Hmm... * * * ### // hVmark Is Officially FOSS We're coming to the end of 2025. Hell, by the time you're reading this, it's _probably already_ 2026. It felt like the time was right, so I **uploaded the hVmark general spec onto GitHub under the MIT license**. It's just a PHP file that can easily be used as a server-side include. Implementation recommendations are included, so it could be used as-is in a publishing stack. Do I think there will be wide-spread adoption? Not at all; the repo itself is meant to be more of a reference than anything. But hey, if you end up deploying hVmark onto your web publishing stack, let me know all about it. Just don't expect tech support. I didn't release it publicly at first for a myriad of reasons, one of which being that I wanted to be confident that it worked. Not a full-package enterprise solution, but also not a _concept_ of a project; something that I'd actively use in building this site, while bug chasing whenever problems arose. It's been weeks since I've even touched the parser's code. Anything that could be considered a bug was just a constraint meant to be worked around. The overall goal was to _tighten_ , not extend, and I feel that I've reached a point where it's tight enough to release. ...That sounded insanely wrong. Look, it's out, okay!?! Check out the repo if you're interested. * * * ### // Subtennial Incoming... The _HisVirusness YouTube Channel_ is almost at **100 SUBSCRIBERS**. It's pretty surprising, but if you notice the first upload on the channel (and how many times it's been reuploaded by others since then), it starts to make a little more sense as to how we got here. It's nothing to shake a stick at, and honestly, I'm going to feel further compelled to start making more original content on there. Not to say I'd be on a regular schedule, but at least putting in more effort than I currently am... which is none. I do have some ideas (one of those, of course, is ~~outlined~~ ~~displayed above~~ found here now), so _Stay Tuned For More Bullshit_. However, _temper your expectations_. After all, this does wrap back around to me pushing myself to start what I finish. And to be totally frank, I'm willing to have gaps between uploads if it means other projects in the pipeline are done, or at the very least actively being worked on. It is pretty exciting, though. Wonder how long until I get _**✓** verified **✓**_. I had a chance to way back when, but I stupidly turned it down. * * * ### // "Life Has Many Doors, Ed-Boy" While 2025 is coming to an end, it's also important to remember those we have lost. **Ed Eastin Jr.** , a good friend of mine and of the site's, shed this mortal coil in his sleep on December 8th, 2025; he was only 43. A lot of people are going to miss him, and that very much includes me. I had known him for about 19 years, and he was a big supporter of my projects; he was one of the first people to ever buy a copy of _Lucky Lead_. He once told me I was one of his favorite authors, and... I always took it as flattering hyperbole, but he really did seem to love certain short stories that have been more or less lost to time. He was also one of a small few who knows how _The Textbook Case_ ends. Keep his family in your thoughts; like I said, a lot of people are going to miss him. He was a great father to his son, and a great friend to everyone in his orbit. _Rest In Peace, Ed-Boy._ The world is much worse off without you. [ https://hisvirusness.com/now ]

I've just updated my personal website to include a 'Now' page, inspired by the /now page movement initiated by @sive.rs.

Have a look at it and let me know what you think!

What's Happening In The Now * 📖 **Writing:** [_The Textbook Case: Part 2_] (procrastination blows) * 🖥️ **Tinkering:** Linux Mint normie usecase test; making @note support hVmark * 🎮 **Playing:** _Fallout 4_ w/ Sim Settlements * 😴 **Practicing:** Not sleeping (still awesome at it) Same shit, different day(s). I recently wired hVmark functionality into this page to replace the hard-coded HTML that was used before. The implementation isn't as... obtuse as /nexus, so it's a lot more accessible on this side, which is important for a page that's meant to be intermittently edited. **_AMENDMENT:_** It's been a bit since I wrote the above, and I gotta say... hVmark has made things **so** much easier. To whoever created hVmark: Thank you, good sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar. * :: Chrome Is Fxcking Up! * :: Site-Wide Design Refine * :: Pfft, More Like The Snowy City... * :: Subtennial Incoming... * * * ### // Chrome Is Fxcking Up! If you're on mobile and reading this in Chrome (or a Chromium-based browser), odds are you're in reader mode because the site looks tiny and zoomed out. This is a very recent phenomenon. For some reason, Chrome is no longer respecting text scaling based on viewport (or, at least, it's not respecting _mine_). For months, everything rendered fine without needing the usual "viewport" meta tag in the header (which actually breaks the layout here). But now, Chrome has decided to stop cooperating. And no, I'm not going to “fix” it. This site was designed desktop-first; working on mobile was always a bonus, not mission critical. The site still loads, and you can still read and navigate, but I'm not going to bend over backwards just because Google quietly changed behavior. If you're on Firefox Mobile, you're fine. Everything seems to be working normally. **Netscape ftw**. * * * ### // Site-Wide Design Refine I added the above section to this page a few days ago, and I've been ruminating on it. That's mostly because in a way, it does go against a priority of mine that I put a lot of work into: Accessibility. The site was designed desktop-first, however it was not designed to be _desktop-only_. You might be thrown off by that based on the snide comments made on the mobile version of /nexus, but it's true. Viewing on desktop is _recommended_ , but not required, and it's only because of my exhaustion at the notion that the modern web **must** be mobile-first. That's not to say I dislike the mobile web. It's quite the opposite: I love it. I love being able to access the internet anywhere, on any device. I just _prefer_ to use computers. When it comes to driving down the information superhighway, I'll take a hacked-up Chromebook before a cell phone any day. While the site was designed desktop-first, there were considerations and concessions made toward the mobile UX. The site works the way it does because in its current form, it's meant to dynamically adjust based on viewport size (without explicitly setting a meta viewport tag). The reason it's important for the viewport metatag to be absent (or, right now, inert) is because including it broke the layout. It's a delicate (and, admittedly hacky) dance. Is it the proper way to do it? Probably not, but I really don't care. It _was_ working. And if you're on any mobile browser that isn't mainline Chrome, it still is; even Chromium-based browsers like Brave are behaving correctly. Despite my insistence on not fixing it (which I do still stand by)... I wanted to see if I could at least _nudge_ Chrome to do what I want. In the process, I started making small design changes. A little change here, a little change there; by the end, the site started looking a _lot_ different. The biggest change obviously has to do with the ASCII header at the top of every page. It was a stylistic choice added a couple of weeks after the site was created, and getting it to cooperate with viewports across the board has been a pain in the ass since. But, that's not the reason it was retired; that's chalked up to evolving design goals. As much as I love ASCII art and look for any reason to include ASCII art, its specific inclusion in that element doesn't fit what I was going for. And honestly, the current overall design is closer to my vision of it now, and I'm very happy with how it looks. Will I always be happy with it? More than likely not. But until the day that I feel a complete CSS overhaul is necessary, I'm very happy with the results right now. _"Yeah, that's all well and good, but what about 'nudging mobile Chrome'? Did you figure out a way to get it to behave?"_ ...No. I'm still futzing around with it here and there. So for now, if you're using mobile Chrome, I guess it's page zoom and Reading Mode until you can get to a computer. If you have any ideas, feel free to get in contact or leave a comment. * * * ### // Pfft, More Like The Snowy City... Heavy snow officially hit Chicago overnight. From the lake to Cicero, everything got caked in a continuous blast of snow. Then, within 18 hours, it all started melting away. And now, we probably won't see another heavy snow storm until March. _"Wow, that's pretty early for snow..."_ Not really; this has actually been a pattern for the last few years. Mid-to-late October or early November, we'll get hit with a violent storm, but the snow won't stick. Then, it's just isolated flurries and snow showers. It does signal one important thing: It's officially time for everyone in the city to switch up their traffic habits. If you're on the road, you gotta start covering your brakes more to brace for a slide, and if you're on foot, you have to be extra vigilant near roadways since snow magically makes people forget how to drive (especially in Rosemont). Stay extra safe out there, peeps. **_UPDATE:_** This was added on November 10th; it's November 14th, and it feels like a summer day. That's Chicago: If you don't like the weather now, wait a few minutes. * * * ### // Subtennial Incoming... The _HisVirusness YouTube Channel_ is almost at **100 SUBSCRIBERS**. It's pretty surprising, but if you notice the first upload on the channel (and how many times it's been reuploaded by others since then), it starts to make a little more sense as to how we got here. It's nothing to shake a stick at, and honestly, I'm going to feel further compelled to start making more original content on there.

Just like the aesthetic design of the site, the /now page has been updated. And yes, the modified design is brought up.

I’m not quite sure where my /now page is headed. I guess I’ve stretched the concept a bit—somehow, the page has morphed into a sort of diary or something. A logbook, as I call it. Public self-reflection. No idea, is that a good thing? I suppose so.
