TL;DR:
A personal retrospective of 2023

2023 was a rough year
#

I usually enjoy doing these yearly posts, looking back at what I did and planning what I’ll do, but 2023 was a rough year. I’m glad it’s over.

Almost four years ago, your mom and I left home and rushed to the maternity hospital to give birth to your brother. As I closed the door to our home, I told your mom with a huge smile that the next time we’d open the door we’d no longer be only the two of us. This was the best day of our lives.

TL;DR:

this is a short article, no TL;DR.

Why so calm ?
#

As some of you know, I was diagnosed a few years ago with generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and alexithymia, a trait that makes it particularly difficult for me to cope with the disorders.

Anxiety, OpenBSD break, COVID-19 and resuming work

TL;DR:

- I took a break to deal with personal stuff
- I'm taking a long break from OpenBSD for personal reasons
- I may or may not have experienced COVID-19, who knows
- resumed work on OpenSMTPD and other projects

This is a weird report

happy new year 2019, a personal post

Sun, 02 Jun 2019 13:42:00 +0000

TL;DR:

Way too many things happened in a six months timeframe.
This post won't need a TL;DR as I'll keep it short.

Generalized anxiety disorder and alexithymia.
#

Late 2018, I’ve been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and alexithymia a couple weeks apart.

News from the front !

TL;DR:

Came very close to a burn out late 2016, had to quit former employer.
Started working at another company early 2017.
Became a student again, currently halfway through second year in psychology.
Haven't done much opensource since early 2017, slowly resuming.

Happy new year !
