As 2014 draws to a close, I look back at the year.

Overall, it was a good year.  The family staid reasonably health (just a case of the flu which every one of us caught). 

Work slowed down a bit after only three trips, and the last one was in June, but I did get to spend two weeks in London which was cool.  While the work has been not what I really want to be doing, it has been interesting, and next year promises to be very interesting.  I have no clue if travel is in the cards or not, but I will keep the camera handy.

In the coming year, I plan to focus on health, photography, and technology.  I want to get back to taking photos every day, and to bring the quality back up to art level over the snapshots and historical documentation that I have been doing.

Also, I want to revisit the 30 Day FreeBSD challenge again in January. I have the old HP R810 running `PCBSD 10.1 <http://www.pcbsd.org>`_ already set up that I have been using for a couple of days working the kinks out of it, so I think I can do it this time.  Normal caveat applies...I have a work laptop which dual boots Windows 8.1 and Fedora 21 for my work stuff.  The home stuff should work nicely on the laptop.

Just to prove things, this post was written under FreeBSD.

I also need to fix up my virtual host farm.  I have one too many, and do not need it, but of course, it is the one with the main mail and other services, so I need to hurry up and migrate things off of it.

I hope your 2015 is a great year.
