It's been a few months since I posted any updates here, it's been a busy year and it's been tough to find time to sit down and write them out. What all has happened since the last post in March? We bought a house, which is still hard to believe! A lot of projects of the sort I'd usually share here have also come together; we built a proper work bench for the woodshop that now resides in the garage, put together a french cleat wall for tool storage and organization, and even got the first home-brew of the house complete (a pear cider.) I also got super into biking, which has only been recently curtailed by the poor air quality that comes with the annual fire season. A lot of my non-work brain space has also been taken up by renovations; the kitchen has been entirely re-done, and was completed just a few days ago, which has unfortunately meant we went months without a proper kitchen to cook in. I'm planning to make a handful of posts over the next few days recapping the projects that came and went over the last year and a half, as well as the current personal project in my queue; semi-automated library cataloging in python.
