Can't remember when I was last at a New Year's party...
But I do know this is the 7th New Year's eve we celebrate at the cabin. No loud bangs of fireworks, rarely any people around except for the family. But still good food of course, even if clothing is hiking casual rather than formal.

It has been quite a refreshing change to go from one of the big 4 consultancies (and more than 12 years of doing time and material work) to a smallish company focusing on building a new team that will deliver products instead.
2026 is looking like a lot of fun!

Lovely hike today and a bit less windy. Eamon and Annan had fun and are now back in the cabin warming up by the fire.

Was a bit windy today as well. Just galeforce gusts but strong and cold enough for Annan and Eamon to get cold even on a short hike.

Just opened a bottle of Late Bottled Vintage port that my dad had forgotten he had - a 1992 vintage.
Too bad he doesn't drink port anymore...

Norway has the highest willingness to defend their country amongst people in Europe, around 90%.
This matches our skepticism of Russia, that was around 90% already before the war.
However, you won’t see this much in the media where half the content is false balance and whataboutism and apologists.

Just generate a fake cloudflare error page and blame it on them - gives you time to fix.

The day started well enough. But when I get to the client office - which I am only going to today because I was specifically asked to come in today - and then find out that no-one else of the team are here...
