2018 in Review

Jan 1, 2019 — 1 min read

In 2018 I finally managed to buck the trend of writing fewer and fewer posts: I wrote 22 posts, just like in the previous year! That's a bit less than what I would have liked (at least two a month), but personal life keeps getting busier and busier.

The number of sessions continued dropping, by almost 30%, down to 10000. Pageviews dropped a bit below 20000, but session length grew by 6%.

The day with the most pageviews was the 1st of February, with 369 views, when I posted about leaving Google. The second most popular day was October 17, after I posted about our trip to Hong Kong, when I had 285 page views.

My most popular page remains the same: the neural networks one. From this year, the most popular one was the one about leaving Google, with 442 views, followed by the Synology and Docker one, with 379 views.

I hope I will manage to get an increase in numbers next year. I have quite a few ideas, so I hope I can write more blog posts, both more fun ones and more technical ones, and who knows, maybe I'll even have a guest writer :)

Half a year ago, I wrote about how to push Git repos between random repos. But at the time, I did it like a farmer, having to change the branch on the remote machine before pushing. Today, after fighting with piku, which is really nice, except it doesn't

Blog updates

Every couple of years, I get bored of my existing blogging setup and make some changes to it. Now, I lasted 4 years on my previous server, but I got annoyed with my static site setup. I've been thinking about this change for a long time. In the

Wait times at the ER

Recently I had my second visit to the ER. It was a lot longer than the first one and a bit more unpleasant, even though the hospital building and the treatment processes appear to have been improved since then. While I waiting there for five hours, with brief breaks to
