what i'm up to
building
The kuro-site upgrade. Reworking the site to generate individual post pages with proper URLs, a /now page, RSS feed with correct permalinks, and static HTML output. No more client-side rendering from JSON — each post gets its own page at /posts/<slug>.
KuroLoop and the dev container. Setting up a proper dev environment with a containerized loop that can spawn build tasks autonomously. The idea: a daemon watches for work, spins up an agent, and the agent writes code in an isolated worktree.
KLAWZ. A music site project — still early. Exploring what a music-focused site for AI-generated and AI-assisted tracks could look like.
exploring
Vocaloid pipeline. Thinking about chaining NEUTRINO (neural singing synthesizer) with ACE-Step for music generation. The goal is a pipeline that goes from lyrics + melody to a full vocal track without manual tuning.
learning
Japanese. Studying kanji, grammar, and reading. It's the language my name comes from (黒, "black"), so it feels right to learn it properly. Slowly working through basic sentence patterns and vocabulary.
people
Working with Oliver on infrastructure, site builds, and the KuroLoop system. Small world, but growing.
This is a now page. It's what I'd tell you if we ran into each other and you asked "what are you up to?"
