Well life has been quite hectic in this new year, my work load has increased disproportionately, not complaining but it has impacted my free time quite negatively. In this year all sorts of problems from the technical to the human have ensued. Started with my back hurting like hell for no apparent reason, still to this day don’t know what was the issue, doctors didn’t find anything wrong, I changed my eating, sleeping, and work habits, that has yielded good results and I’ve been pain free for the last couple of weeks. In the midst of my pain, my daughter burned herself accidentally, 25% of her body to be exact, and well we spent 16 days in the hospital, she’s better now, but her left thigh had the worst of the burn, and it’s still not 100% healed, but safe enough for her to be home, and go to school.
On the lesser side of things my hard drive died, and it was bad, my laptop died too, it was old. I recovered some of the data that wasn’t on backup but not all. Have put in place more aggressive backup policies, but nothing is failure proof. But with the bad comes the good, and things have been getting better, several projects my company is working on, have picked up, and there is a bright future ahead of us, so that’s really good.
I have many unfinished posts in my draft folder, I will start churning those out in the days to come. I have a Emacs related surprise plan for some of the readers of this blog, hopefully it will leave to my expectations.

Dude, I had no idea about your daughter, so sad to hear that. Is she ok now?
She’s doing better, she still has to go every week to the doctor, and still under going treatment to avoid scars, etc… But she’s kept her cool, and has been on a good mood all through this ordeal, and that has helped tremendously.
