It's 2025 and I am back to blogging on my personal site, so what has been happening?
For the past few years I have been posting some of my ponderings on another site - a blog that is internal to Atlassian, where I have been working as a senior developer.
That brings me around to why I am going to resume posting here. I have decided to dedicate my time to helping out with a senior family member, stepping completely away from work commitments for a while.
Personal progress
On my first fresh non-work day I have found myself unblocked from making progress on something that I have been comtemplating for a couple of months - I have purchased a more modern car. A 2020 hybrid seems like a nice step up from a 2007 regular petrol car.
Family health progress
Without going into any detail, the family member who had been facing some challenging medical needs has made a remarkable come-back. We are taking things one day at a time.
Things to do
Don't expect much htechnical output from me for a while, as there is still a need for me to help out with gardening and household maintenance.
Not having any slack notifications for a month or three seems quite appealing.
