New Years Resolution: 52 posts in 2025 (second attempt)

Off to a somewhat hectic start of the year, but I'm trying to get back on track with the blog.

As for my New Year's resolution for 2023, I know I have 52 blog posts in me, so I am thinking about if I should give it another go, even though I failed the first time around. Do note I did not do this for 2024, because I know it would not be doable and it retrospect it was a good decision, since 2024 was a very hectic year on too many fronts.

This is the calendar for 2025 with week numbers:

One more done:

This covers week #17, meaning the last Sunday in April and I am only 3 posts behind schedule, I am however not sure I will be able to do them by the upcoming Sunday, since I have some other plans for the weekend and work to attend to.

I am WAY behind on my blogging schedule, I am actually behind on a lot of things.

So I have just published:

So I am about 7 posts behind (only 6 counting the one above), so I hope that catching up on some of my TODOs will add to blog post count and I can get back on track.

This should cover week #14

This afternoon I was able to squeeze in some more keyboard-quality time, which was not entirely work-related...

This should cover week #16

Somewhat back from summer vacation, my last post was from week #23 due to being busy before the holidays and not bringing a laptop on vacation and being AFK for quite some time, I am being on my posting schedule about 8 posts, not counting this week (yet).

So it is back to the keyboard now...

Did some side-project clean up and this resulted in a post on my first experiences with using copilot agentic mode

This is post #20 so I am about 5 posts behind schedule, but I have some ideas for at least a few of them. Well I do have a longer backlog, but let's see this goes
