Half a decade

My sense of time is still broken as today marks five years since I started working from home. Broadly speaking my routine is still the same as it was a year ago.
Do I have any highlights of the last year?
- I got my first 3d printer and have incorporated that into my home automation projects
- I had solar and no gas for over a year, continuing to monitor my usage and keep an eye on what could change
- I liquidated the last of my computer collection, just keeping Apple IIgs related items
- I tackled some long overdue home maintenance projects such as building a new gate, painting the garage door, sanding back and oiling the deck, getting the garage door roof replaced and painting railings
I didn’t get out with my camera as much as I wanted, though I did spend a decent amount of time working through my backlog and putting up a few new albums on Flickr.
At the end of last year the decision was finally announced that the lease would be terminated on the Melbourne office, we would all be formally considered remote. In 2024 I only went in once to work (on a day we had an all office meeting with catered lunch) but I did use it a couple of other times, it was handy knowing I had access to somewhere in the city that was quiet and I knew would have a clean toilet… I still miss the random lunchtime conversations, but the opposite is true for the two hours taken up be the commute.
