2025: Well it's Been a Minute

14/04/2025 — written by josh

I have awoken from my cryogenic chamber. A decade has past. Everything is familiar, yet completely strange. While the world has evolved, I find myself cobbling together everything I had from the day I retired from web development.

Aside from not being a 4k design, I feel that this layout holds up pretty well. It should survive long enough for me to refactor and rewrite the code that runs it, then I think I'll see about refreshing the design for this century.

I'm not sure why I felt the urge to revisit this long-lost passion. Perhaps I'm just having a mid life crisis. Or becoming frustrated that the creative side of myself has been in hibernation for so long. So many things have changed over the years and I feel like I have more resolve towards what I want to do and how I want to do it.

I don't really know how this is going to come together but I'm sure I'll figure it out. I managed to update the code so far, so maybe I still remember how to do things, or will remember how to do things.

2012: Second Chance?

It never occurred to me when I was younger that I would live well into the 20th century, but here we are. I remember when the world went bat shit crazy about entering a new century. Y2K was meant to destroy our infrastructure. Planes would fall out the sky and trains would spontaneously derail and self-ignite. Cars wheels would fall off and our GPS would lead us off of cliffs. Of course none of that ever happened.

So, 2012, the end of the world according to some head cases, was it? Certainly not! This has given me a bit to think about though. You see, for the past eight years I've pretty much done absolutely nothing remarkable. I have been surviving on day to day basis saying that I would do more "tomorrow", that elusive and ever perpetual "tomorrow".

Well enough is enough and I've made some decisions which should help me enjoy a few more decades of this crazy century. I'm pretty optimistic and things are looking up. I'm planning on working on this website a little more, as you might have noticed, there's not actually much that is functional. I've laid down some bits and pieces of the foundation; it just has to be filled in! Oh joy!

Well hang tight, I said I'd put something up in 2012... so... enjoy!
