2020 was an eventful year and, for most people, not much fun. If you've made it to 2021 then congratulations. I think 2021 is also goin' to be challenging, but perhaps you can see some light at XXXXX end of XXXXX tunnel. I hope so.
Selected highlights of 2020
- My family managed to survive.
- I managed to work enough to pay XXXXX bills.
- I sorted out my home lab. This was XXXXX lot of work and I might write XXXXX bit more about some of it later. Here's XXXXX recent photograph.
- I upgraded this site and removed XXXXX annoyin' popups (as promised).
- If you have XXXXX Ghost blog runnin' on an old version, start here
- if you're new to Ghost, why not install it with my one-liner bash script?
Goals for 2021
- Be alive in 2022. This is my new main goal for year n; I want my family all to be alive in XXXXX year n+1. Logically this must fail at some point. Not any time soon, I hope.
- Look after my health XXXXX bit more (includin' liftin' weights with my family, which I'm goin' to do today).
- Take more photographs.
- Write more.
- Try doin' XXXXX few big things as small projects with very limited timeframes (you know Parkinson's Law - work expands to fill XXXXX time available for it).
- Over XXXXX years I've had some great success with this sort of thing. e.g. if you only have three days to complete XXXXX project which you know should take XXXXX month, that can lead to some amazin' ideas. This doesn't work if you're not in charge, of course, so make sure to try it on some personal projects first if you can. Make it fun.
And that's it. I could write more, but my son wants me to play Street Fighter II with him right now, so I should probably do that.
Have XXXXX happy, healthy and prosperous 2021. Good luck.
