2009: An online retrospective

January 1st, 2010 · Comments

It’s my first anniversary of living in Belgium! Rather than write a long retrospective that only I will end up reading, I’ve selected a photo and tweet of mine for each month:

“Bought a box of ice cream only to discover we have no freezer! Moved it to our balcony instead” — Jan 2
“lost faith in belgium rail. It took 3 hours to get to work today, 2h40m to get home last night. Working on getting internet at home.” — Feb 6
wearing my release engineering hat again today. trying to fix broken js tests on a release branch, would rather be writing python code.” — Mar 13
“Eager to pick up my motorbike in 3 hours. Not eager about driving a stick-shift Opel 40km home while Cedric rides my R1150GS” — Apr 3

“I love that I can reliably hear pheasants calling in the distance at least once an hour while I am at work. It’s like rusty metal scraping.” — May 5
“The oddest part of Geneva was the hotel toilet. Defecation occurs on a flat porcelein surface, awaiting your review until flushing it away.” — Jun 1
“We’ve arrived in Prague! It’s amazing how foreign the Czech republic feels from western europe. The ride down the Elbe was amazing!” — Jul 25
“Finally visited Oostende yesterday — cool town! Napped on beach, cycled 30km, now completely burnt. Today is BBQ+unittests.” — Aug 23

“I am sleepily writing my self-assessment for the last 6 months at work. I find I do not do so well at historical introspection.” — Sep 14
“After a minor fender bender, a bicycle theft, and a smashed 18-200mm lens, I decree this months theme to: Be careful, Be vigilant.” — Oct 9
“I’m feeling very inspired after the #hsbxl tech tuesday session. Lots of future invasion-of-privacy hacks to think about.” — Nov 17
“namebench 1.0 is released! It includes an extra 2,000 audited nameservers, and sacrifices some speed for accuracy. http://bit.ly/1DaC2k” — Dec 5

In writing this post, I hacked up a quick twitter archiving tool: tweet-archive. Feel free to make use of it. Happy 2010!
