2025 and the new Year

In classic fashion, this post is quite some time after the new year. I made a post back around this time last year as a sort of “goals of the year” sort of thing. Too late to be a new years resolution, so that I didn’t really have to commit if time could not allow. That being said I wanted to see what I managed to pull off last year.

On the Goals I Set

• I managed to pull off 10 posts in 2024, still a fifth of what I wanted to pull off. The quality of each varies widely, but for getting things out of the millions of drafts that exist in version control, I personally say that I made a good effort.

• The Programming stuff I set for myself I knew was a shot in the barrel with zero fish. I was right, I didn’t really hit my goals as much as I just did a lot of reading.

• Reading: I realized that reading takes time. I don’t have time :^).

• Dietary/Biking: Things in this department went way different than I had expected. I ended up picking up gym shenanigans around early June of last year, and I haven’t stopped since. Planning biking trips is rather unrealistic due to my other commitments I have (mainly my degree). As well, my diet has sort of fixed itself, it is definitely better than what I was pulling off earlier (and by pull off, I mean lack thereof, I just didn’t have an appetite).

Random things I picked up

• I started playing the bass. Weird change from being an orchestra kid for a little over a decade but its a nice change of pace.

• ‘Hobbyist Electronics’, except at this point I have more knowledge beyond the typical hobbyist so I cant really find a good term for it.

For this year

This year I really want to focus on making a bit higher quality internet-facing materials, since I’ve started (but never continued) projects. While my current workload is a valid excuse, I do find myself with free time that I could be using better than I currently am. Don’t expect this to be held up in the capacity that you think of though.

I especially don’t think I’ll have the time to write anything particularly interesting till summer, I haven’t had the motivation or enjoyment to write in any capacity.
