About

Hello! I'm Kirill, and this is my humble blog, where I jot down various notes about my daily experiences: from nontrivial tasks to interesting challenges and anything else that sparks excitement.

The initial idea originated from my passion for taking notes using Obsidian. However, over time, I realized that some of my notes could be useful not only to me but also to others. And that's how my online notebook came to be.

You can find my website over here with all the necessary information and other social links.

Not by AI

For several months, this icon has been awkwardly dangling at the bottom of each page, signaling that this blog is written by an actual leather human and not a silicon brain. I decided to move it to this page because the inability to vertically align the picture with the updated footer drove me nuts.

So what does that mean exactly?

I use ChatGPT for grammar checks and occasionally when a sentence feels like it’s not coming together properly. All the other elements -- structure, text, wording, phrases -- are produced solely by me, however awkward and weird they may sound. This blog is fully a product of my writing skills, which may even improve over time (or not).

Oh, yes, here’s the picture:

Changelog

I've been thinking for some time that it makes sense to keep track of the changes I've been making to my blog. So, instead of abandoning them or creating a separate post for each update (or group of updates), I decided to add a changelog block here. After all, this page is about the blog, so it only feels logical.
