TL;DR: Still funemployed. Using the spare time to get in shape, study for the JCPTA and bootstrap Millefeuille.
Studying for the Japanese Certified Public Tax Accountant exams (税理士試験)
Initial motivation forever memorialised in this blog post.
Bootstrapping Millefeuille
I’m building a personal finance manager for myself and if it works, maybe for you too. I’ve built 3 prototypes since last May, sadly none I’m willing to share with the world. The first one sort of worked. The next two I built with the help of ChatGPT then Claude. They sort of work but not what I had actually intended?
I’ve now started again on a 4th prototype, still with some help from Claude but making sure that I’m the one driving most of the decisions.
Snowboarding
I’ve ridden 34 days this season, most of it in Hakuba Valley.
I had hoped to hit 100 days on the slopes this year but this has been an exceptionally warm and dry winter. I took two weeks off in Feb due to some injuries and have only ridden a handful of days in March.
I don’t really like riding slush but I hope to still get a few more runs in this season.
I post some snowboarding photos on Instagram under @sen.rides.snowboard.
Feel free to hit me up if you’re riding in Hakuba.
Entertainment
I had planned go through the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe library.
I’ve finished the Infinity Saga, watched about half of the Multiverse movies and TV series like Loki, WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter soldier. Currently, my wife and I are watching the Netflix Daredevil run together so that we can start Born Again. We’ve finished the first two seasons and have just got started on Defenders, then we’ll move onto DD season 3, then finally Born Again.
My wife thinks Matt is an asshole.
