the aim for twentytwentyfive

Hello, dear neglacted blog, it has been a while. Glad that you still around. I have woken up from my (mental) winter hybernation and looking forward to a hopefully beautiful spring. Therefore I start up with what I want to do during this year.

Computing:

• Do more C programming. It is fun and gives me that "old school"-feeling.
• Learn the ncat command. Read "My Minimal Gemini Client" recently on Rob's Gemini Capsule and was inspired.

• Continue developing my blogging tool Blaker. I have some ideas of what to do and future will tell if it turn out any good.
• Get an SBC. I have not decided yet what to get but I hope that we will see some RISC-V single boards this year that will suit an amateur like me.

Life:

• Not to fall into despaire due to the world political turmoil and global warming. I have had enough anxiety and depression for a while now.
• Exercise. Long walks and bike rides. Lose some weight.
• Absolutely spend more time in the garden. Grow things. Enjoy the beuty of the things. Eat the things.
• Read at least five books. Feed the mind.

It will be interesting (for me at least) to return to this text at the end of the year and see what I have and not have done.

Take care!
