Summer 2017 edition of Asymptote is now online! Gathering exclusive work from 27 countries, the new issue is themed “Worlds Within Worlds” and featuring new fiction by master story-teller Mercè Rodoreda, interviews with Kafka translator Michael Hofmann and 2017 Prix Net Art winner Bogosi Sekhukhuni, the first love poems by Nobel frontrunner Ko Un, who poignantly captures the longing of “the world…in want of the world.”, as well as “Visiting a Haunted House,” a piece excerpted from Intan Paramaditha's upcoming novel, Gentayangan: Pilih Sendiri Petualangan Sepatu Merahmu (The Wandering: Choose Your Own Red Shoes Adventure).

On some personal news: I’m so delighted to let you know that this month I've joined Asymptote Journal as an Editor-at-Large for Indonesia, filling a position left vacant by Tiffany Tsao, who now becomes Editor-at-Large for Australia. I will be in charge of this region with fellow Indonesian, Norman Erikson Pasaribu. (Nevertheless, at the same time, I’m still serving idwriters.com) 

Hope this new issue helps you pass a great week!

Shoutout to my coding partners this week, and the morning session team you guys are rockstars.
Stay tuned for the upcoming highlight.

Add a customized GitHub READMe to my Github profile https://github.com/netman5

Revamped MySpace with some better metrics and layout, and by that I mean my GitHub profile README.

After a lot of back and forth experimentation I decided to stick with these actions:
- actions/github-script
- siddharth2016/quote-readme
- lowlighter/metrics

There are also a couple of hidden gems but wouldn't really call them easter eggs. Take a look if you want to increase your nerd factor!

Here are some good resources if you are hype about this kind of MySpace revival:
- GitHub docs managing your profile readme
- Michelle Mannering's series on READMEs
- Monica Powell's early adopter profile discovery

I changed my Polywork header and finally configured my domain.

New profile picture is a sign of changes to come! ;)
