Happy: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year!
With this 52nd weeknote, that’s a wrap on 2024. I’ve enjoyed having a reason to post once a week, even if some of those weeks have just been lists of links. This year, I posted 88 times; weeknotes made up the majority of them. That puts 2024 in the top ten for post volume here, barely. We’d have to go back to 2015 to see this kind of activity. All that is to say I’ll keep posting week notes.
It’s been very quiet both at home and at work. Which has allowed me to get a few things done in both places that have been on my list for a while.
One such project was clearing out my lockers at the boat club.–something that needed doing since the boat was sold. Clearing out was easy, but it meant finding a place for a toolbox and three bags of stuff at home. Between reorganizing and posting some things on eBay, everything is fairly neat and out of the way. Fun fact: This consolidation of tools has left me with a collection of adjustable wrenches larger than any one person needs.
In other news, while poking around on this site, I found more embedded spam similar to earlier this year. I’m not sure if it happened since it was cleaned up or if I just missed it–I hope it’s the latter. I’ll keep an eye on things to see if it comes up again. While I’ve been thinking about moving to a static site, it’s an amount of work that I’m not prepared to do right now. However, if the spam continues, it might nudge me towards actually doing that work.

Some really cool tools here. If I had one of those exoskeletons for bottom sanding, I may still own my sailboat!
