That was *seven* years ago. - -In that time, quite a lot has changed in my life both personally and professionally. So, I figured it would be interesting to reflect on these years and document it for my own personal records. My hope is that this is something I could start doing every 5 or 10 years (if I can keep going that long!). This way, my blog also serves as a "time capsule" or museum of the past... - -## Fun Facts - -**This Blog**: - -I originally started blogging on `bradleytaunt.com` using WordPress, but since then I have changed both my main domain and blog infrastructure multiple times. At a glance I have used: - -- Jekyll -- Hugo -- Blot -- Static HTML/CSS -- [PHPetite](https://phpetite.bt.ht) -- [Shinobi](https://shinobi.bt.ht) -- [pblog](https://pblog.bt.ht) -- [barf](https://barf.bt.ht) -- [ikiwiki](https://ikiwiki.info) *Currently using!* - - -**Personal:** - -As with anyone over time, the personal side of my life has seen the biggest *updates*: - -- Married the love of my life (after knowing each other for ~14 years!) -- Moved out into rural Ontario for some peace and quiet -- Had three wonderful kids with said wife (two boys and a girl) -- Started noticing grey sprinkles in my stubble (I guess I can officially call myself a "grey beard"?) - -**Professionally:** - -- Pivoted heavily into UX research and design for a handful of years (after working mostly with web front-ends) -- Recently switched back into a more fullstack development role to challenge myself and learn more - -## Nothing Special - -This post isn't anything ground-breaking but for me it's nice to reflect on the time passed and remember how much can change in such little time. Hopefully I'll be right back here in another 7 years and maybe you'll still be reading along with me! |
