My vacation is almost over. I haven’t done anything “productive” with my time. But to be fair, I didn’t feel like checking things off of a list for a while. (The task list at work is pretty much bottomless, there’s always more stuff to do, and I didn’t want the same for my holidays.) That being said, I wish I had had some time to work on my photo projects or this website, but it wasn’t meant to be, I guess. We travelled a bunch, spent some time at the ocean and made some memories as a family. The only time I opened my laptop was to import my photos and post them to the photo blog. (More than 200 consecutive posts now, btw.) Posting daily definitely felt much easier during the time off. Which makes me think that I need to find a routine again, that gets me outside more, because that automatically leads to more photo opportunities. Like during the beginning of the photo blog, when I had regular calisthenics sessions. (Which had lots of other benefits as well.) 🤔
Since my Flickr account is not publicly accessible because I don’t want to pay for a Pro account (and there are apparently a couple of “unsafe” images somewhere in my account), I republished my WordCamp Frankfurt photos from 2016 (!) as a gallery on my photoblog.
I also updated the original blog post about the event, and replaced all of the old Twitter links with people’s website/blog URLs. 💪 (Now I want to find and replace ALL Twitter links…)
Let that be a reminder to myself to always post on my own website and link to people’s websites instead of social media profiles whenever possible!
I tried to do these monthly posts for a while because I like to read them when others post them. But I always forget to write down things I’ve been watching or doing, so at the end of the month, it feels like too much work to try to remember everything and then write a post about it. I tried to make it a habit to log my thoughts for these posts, but it does not come naturally to me. So I am renouncing any further monthly posts.
Only thing I am bummed about going to WCEU is the Switch 2 getting delivered later today and I won’t be there to set it up with my daughter. We’ll make good on that on Sunday (or Monday).
