  • 2022 roundup

    It is the end of the year, and I am once again writing my end of the year post, and what a year it has been. This time last year, the biggest of my worries was electricity prices (which are still bad, though nowhere near as bad as last year). Since then, my entire family…

  • 2021 roundup

    The year is very nearly over, and it is time, as I usually do, to look back at the year. Like 2020, it’s been a challenging year. Some of it is down to the Covid-pandemic which continues to plague the world, though that is certainly not the entire picture. Working, as I do, for a…

  • 2020 roundup

    Another year is (almost) ready for the history books, and as has become my tradition, I’m writing my annual end-of-the-year retrospective. There’s no doubt that this has been a very challenging year. March saw me sent to the home office, and though I returned to the office in May, working from home has become far…

  • 2019 roundup

    As has become my tradition, I would like to invite you to take a look at the year which is about to end with me, as it pertains to me, my life, and the blog. 2019 has been a year of change and development. I applied for a number of positions, ultimately getting none of…

  • 2018 roundup

    In keeping with my tradition, I am inviting you to take a look at the year which is about to end with me, as it pertains to me, my life, and the blog. Where 2017 was a challenging year on the personal front, 2018 has been far easier. Though the year did see us dealing…

  • 2017 roundup

    As has become my tradition, I am rounding out the year with a retrospective article. The idea stems from many places, but in particular from Steve Jackson, of Steve Jackson Games, and his annual Report to the Stakeholders. There is no way around it; 2017 was extremely challenging on the personal front, for a number of…

  • 2016 roundup

    Another year has gone by, the fourth one running in which I am writing a roundup article. While still not burdened with an overabundance of excitement, they are useful to me. Like 2015, 2016 has been a year marked by change. In January, we moved out of our house, into an apartment, and sold the house.…

  • 2015 roundup

    For the third year running, and the fourth time overall, I am actually writing a roundup article. Not exactly the most exciting stuff I write, but useful all the same, at least for me, if not for anyone else. It lets me look back at what I have done over the past year, and take stock…

  • 2014 roundup

    Another year, another roundup. 2014 has been far less turbulent than 2013, for which I am grateful. I have held the same job throughout the year, and studied Project and Service Management in the first half of the year. After the summer, I turned to Change Management (with a bit of project management and strategy thrown…

  • 2013 roundup

    It’s been a while since I did one of these, but I guess it’s about time. 2013 has been a turbulent year for me. It started with me as a dad on parental leave, doing my best to get through my first course of university studies. About one third through the year, I started to…

  • 2010 roundup

    Almost past us, I think it is time to take a look back and take stock of 2010, and see what the year brought. Exciting product launches: The iPad, easily among the top ten most anticipated new products of the year, was announced in January, and hit stores in April. I got mine in September,…
