The big news is that we’re back from our 100-Day Adventure Around the World. I’m still shocked that we were able to successfully negotiate every challenge to make this happen, an idea that took four years of saving and a job change to even get us into the realm of possibility.
There are a bunch of new changes at my wife’s work, which we’re doing our best to navigate. Unfortunately, it’s going to severely limit our future travel, which is a huge blow to our life plans. I’m not sure what this looks like yet, but we’ll do our best to find some silver linings.
We’re approaching the year mark since my dad’s death. There are a number of things I still need to wrap up that I’ve dutifully avoided so far, such as purging his remaining possessions and cabinets of paperwork. I also need to better organize and archive the various photos and videos and other memories I have of him.
I’m working on a full design of my website—yep, this one right here—that will transition it from WordPress to Kirby. It’s a big undertaking, in large part because I have to learn Kirby and enough PHP and CSS to make it work, as well as somewhat manually repost all the posts, pages, and photos. But I’m excited about it, as I think it’ll be a much better solution overall, and I think it’ll help me post more regularly about our adventures.
Which brings me to another big project that I’m similarly excited about—transitioning the Go Questing website from Notion/Super to…you guessed it…Kirby. That’s right, after several years of hiatus, I’m finally getting a chance to get back to his half-completed project. With dedicated pages for more than 1500 different quests, and another 300 or so waiting to be published, this will be an even larger and more complicated transition. And I still have plenty of work to do in building out many of these existing pages, too.
In addition, I’m working on plans to convert this entire effort into a stand-alone nonprofit, which of course involves far more work than just the quest directory website.
I expect the above items to dominate the next half year.
