The first semester of school began and nearly passed, COVID-19 has stayed with us all the same, and I'm finally writing another status update as the new year begins. Before I talk about what I've done in the past four months though, here's a beautiful picture of the James Webb Space Telescope which successfully launched on December 25th, 2021 to soon begin its mission of collecting light from the first galaxies of billions of years ago. I just find it truly spectacular.

To start off, let's talk about the projects I mentioned in my previous blog post, sss and tilde. The former is still being worked while the latter has launched after some major code reworks. Check it out at [cats.sh](https://cats.sh/) and join the IRC server &mdash; currently the only service. I'm hoping to get more services up and running soon and to make it a proper <abbr title="Public unix machine in the spirit of https://tilde.club">tilde</abbr> with SSH access. If you're interested in specific services, contact me <a href="https://fluix.one/more/#contact">personally</a> or on the <a href="https://irc.cats.sh">official cats.sh IRC channel</a>.

Starting off with the first noun in the title, I've been participating more on the [Freenode IRC](https://freenode.net/) server, specifically in `#archlinux-offtopic` and `#freenode`, where I've found some true cat lovers. These people aren't just your average cat gif viewers, they know some special cats and all about them. Here's the two most spoken about, the [kodkod](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodkod) and the [sand cat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_cat):

When it comes to programming work I've done, it's been a mix between lots of web development in Python and Go, a native app from a tiny bit of C, and a mix of some other projects. Two months ago, I wrote a simple periodic table app called [periodicus](https://git.sr.ht/~fluix/periodicus). It's nothing fancy, just the periodic table with symbols, but hopefully that'll change once I get to needing/using it again. This blog has also been automatically deployed since [mid-January](https://git.sr.ht/~fluix/fluix.one/commit/9c842b9cf39dfb7af7a6c58f74bbc4c7cd625909) through a [build.sr.ht](https://builds.sr.ht/) script. Not having to worry about it has been great.
