State of the Website 2016
Apparently another 365 days have gone by. 2015 was a fairly busy and productive year for me, but it didn’t include website projects as much as I would have liked. I have resolved a lot of the issues/excuses that I mentioned last year, but some problems are still problems. Time management and organization are particularly troublesome. I’m still not sure whether or not it was a good idea to be so open about my life, even in a vague and partly facetious manner. I might ponder that more at a later date.
But I won’t be making excuses this year. Instead I’ll be making a sort of promise that I might actually be able to keep. For 2016 and the 16th anniversary of my website stuff, I’ll be posting 16 updates over the next 16 weeks. Once a week for roughly four months. It seems pretty doable considering a lot of things I have partially complete, and considering I just won NaNoWriMo for the first time in November. There was also a time in the ancient past when I updated even more frequently than that. But at the same time, I can’t help but think “oh shit I’ve made this big public declaration and now I’m gonna screw it up.” Overall I’m pretty optimistic though.
Below will be a blank numbered list from 1-16, ready for content updates to be edited in each week. More motivation to succeed, and more embarrassment if I fail. They’ll also be in their respective sections like normal updates, of course, so you don’t have to worry about refreshing this post or anything.
I can’t help but think that one update every four months would have been a more realistic goal.
