On a personal level, 2024 was a highly challenging year for me.
During this, I struggled a lot with my mental health, specififically with the management of ADHD and anxiety. However, I learned so much about myself and how to manage my mental health in 2024 that had a great benefit for my life going into 2025.
Projects
In 2024, I yet again had a much smaller volume of completed projects than I wanted.
StaticSite
- Started: December 2024
- Finished: December 2024
- Status: Completed
In December 2024, I switched the website over to a static site generator, eliminating the complexity of the maintenance of a custom dynamic website generator.
MediaCow Touch 2
- Started: June 2024 (actual development), March 2021 (original plans)
- Finished: N/A
In 2024, I made the first serious commitment to MediaCow Touch 2.
Personal issues along with the lack of planning and organization had me fail to meet the deadline for the project. However, what I have learned from the project
MonitorCow
- Started: August 2024
- Finished: N/A
- Status: Still in development
MonitorCow split off from MediaCow Touch 2 in August.
I was so close to actually getting a prototype of MonitorCow MNC-N156KME-GNA assembled but I got stuck on getting CNC time at the local makerspace.
Lysine
- Started: July 2024
- Finished: ???
Lysine was started to find an immediate replacement for SCSS. It started as a fork of Jinja2 for Python and Tera for Rust.
Personal
Though challenging, I made great personal development this year.
I have made mistakes that I am not proud of, but I have learned from them.
