Here are some random facts about me. I may update this list, as I remember some funny fact.
I am an open-source enthusiast#
- I use Arch Linux as my daily driver since early 2019,
- and I spend most of my time in
nvim. This entire website is written in nvim.
Other Things#
I like high fashion
- My favourite brands (not necessarily of high fashion) that I wear are Massimo Dutti, Marks & Spencer, Scotch & Soda, COS, Hugo Boss, Clarks (one love!).
- I have some Dolce & Gabbana things I’ve bought while… well, being not too conscious at the moment. I don’t wear them too often, because I don’t really like them.
I love perfums,
- My favourite brand is the Swedish Byredo and it’s M-Mink
- I like Dolce & Gabbana’s Pour Homme
- and of course, Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille, I have literally litres of this devil’s water. I absolutely love it! And I’d recommend possibly every fragrance of this brand.
I love shirts,
- I have a couple of hundreds of them.
- I wear them at home, I wear them in my workshop, I wear an oversized one at night. Sometimes I cannot stand and buy just one more that I like.
I love stationary
- if I’m at Kinokuniya, it’s impossible to not buy something
- I have so many things for centuries to come, and more likely my grand-grand children would inherit my collection of pens, pencils, notebooks, etc.
I love-hate Apple Tech
I like Asian street food
I don’t like coffee
- I do like very rare teas though
Once I thought I’m an owl (late person), turned out I’m a lark (early person). My most comfortable time of waking up is 4–5 am.
- Early mornigns is my favourite time of the day, it’s when I’m most productive.
I was raised as a pedant, and I hate it, so I’m working on eliminating it from my person-to-person communication.
- Same thing with perfectionism. I’m a perfectionist, but I’m doing my best to avoid it, as it just kills many great things in life, and work too.
I love The Lord of the Rings novel, I have read it multiple times, and I’ve listened to the Serkis Audiobook countless times.
- I consider it a work of genius. With no excessive fanatism, I just think it’s very deep.
- That’s the type of work I consider good. I want to create something meaningful with the same depth.
- I’m trying to make this website deep too. Like a book you can read, you know.
I’m good at writing.
- I can write multiple languages, but English is my first these days.
- Sometimes I write in Swedish too.
- I’m very bad at Ukrainian, but I’m learning. Very slowly. My wife, a Ukrainian, doesn’t want to teach me the language, ‘read the context’ she says, and so I’m reading it, and that’s how I learn.
I’m not-so-good at reading, but I love reading.
- I can read more languages than I can write.
- I can understand more languages than I can speak.
- I can read more languages than I can write.
I hated history and geography at school, but I do love them now. I’m better than the most people at them now, because I’m constantly curious, and still learning.
