Work

October at Heder Bank was mostly about cards: a lot of compliance work, and getting cards up and running together with the rest of the daily banking pieces. We also launched the first version of the app. November is about preparing for the IPO.

Side Projects

A few things moving in parallel:

Neste Uke went live in October. It is the school-week SMS project I wrote about in my 2025 review: the week plan from school, straight to your phone every Sunday evening.

Teamlet is still my daily driver for work chat, and a Windows version is taking shape.

This site moved from Jekyll to Astro and from Vercel to Cloudflare in October. It feels insanely much faster. Next up is finally publishing that backlog of nearly finished blog drafts, one post a week.

In the margins there are also a few small apps for the kids’ world: a playing-time planner for youth football coaches, a card game, and a tiny calling app for the kids’ iPad.

Family

Autumn mode: dark mornings, parent-teacher conferences, and the full calendar of school, kindergarten and activities. Closer to home, we in the neighbourhood are making a push for a proper football pitch for the local kids.

Health

Keeping the normal rhythm alive: short strength sessions when the morning allows it, and biking as the default transport.
