Hello 2023, please be a kind year
Jan. 2nd, 2023 07:30 pmHello again. Been a bit since my last post, not quite as long as some of the gaps but a month and change still. I'm doing well enough and I'm hoping for a decent 2023. I didn't get a huge amount done in 2022, but it was at least *mostly* trouble free. A dental uh-oh ate up most of my emergency slack in early December, but other than that... not too bad. Better than 2020 and 2021 (aka the year that started good and then my car decided to act up).
I'm not going to call these resolutions, but plans for 2023:
- Restart my static blog as a '100 days of' tracker. Starting with 100 days of basic html, css, and javascript.
- Read more. As if that needs explanation :)
- Write more. I got a teensy bit written during NaNo and I'd like to keep moving forward with that project
- Actually at least try doing the Draw A Box program this year
- Do more electronics tinkering this year. Last month I pulled out an arduino kit I got in 2021 and started going through it.
- Mi povus ŝati plenigi la Duolingo Esperanto kurso. Mi finis eta pli ol duonon la kurso.
- Two more maybes for 100 days of: Scribus and QGIS. It occurred to me that I hadn't tried making any more maps with QGIS after I replaced my former laptop back in 2021 (it was about a decade old and a low end model when new, so it was time) and this one will probably be able to handle it better. I'd managed far enough back in 2019 to make a map of Arizona that had some locations that I thought were interesting marked on it (Kitt Peak, the Musical Instrument Museum, etc).
- Get under 200 pounds. Really I'll be happy if I can get my trendline to stay under 210. I doubt I'll manage to 175 I was as a teenager, and frankly I was darn skinny then. I wouldn't mind if most of the weight over that was muscle, I just don't need fifty pounds of bonus muscle, so yeah under 210 or even if possible 200 please.
- Take up guitar again. I ended up tapering off during 2020 and basically stopped playing. I'd like to get back to where I was and then keep going.
