Weekly Notes 2025.01

2025-01-12 2 min read

I decided to try out weekly notes again this year, and attempt to find a happy balance between whatever caused me to avoid them by mid-ways through last year, and the alternative, which is going for months at a time without posting, if I’m not careful. πŸ˜‚

  • This was the first full week back at work after the holidays. I worked Jan 2/3 as well, but neither day felt particularly productive, as it was the first time seeing coworkers since before the break.
  • Jan 6 marked the 11 year anniversary of my website. I have some ideas for a blog post around recent changes, but it’s still on the back-burner.
  • Jan 7 marked my 20 year in-game anniversary for my oldest RuneScape 3 account. I don’t play very often anymore, but I logged in long enough to pick up my 20 year cape. πŸŽ‰

I think I’ve settled on Immich as my primary location, with Backblaze backups, as it gives me better overall control than Synology, and allows me to store files locally. I like iCloud Photos in general, but I get annoyed at some of the behavior (especially around uploads), and I like having multiple copies of things I find important.
  • It’s snowed a few times, so I’ve added “shovel driveway” to my workout routine. πŸ˜‚

Looks like an evening of gift wrapping ahead, with the Christmas stylings of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops for accompaniment! 🎢

It’s completely normal to reread someone’s blog post and decide to write up a post of your own in response while sipping your morning coffee before work, right? πŸ€”
