2022 Summary of element14 activity - DougW

dougw

As the year winds down I always summarize my element14 activity in a blog that I later use to lookup my historical content. This year was a mad scramble the whole year. I tried to fit a lot of projects into an already busy schedule and almost nothing went according to plan. Backup plans to backup plans were needed to deal with getting quite sick several times, incredible material shortages, extensive shipping delays, Verint woes, and of course Murphy. None the less, some projects got done and it was a pretty satisfying achievement to to persevere through the adversities. You have to go as hard as possible as long as possible, because at some point it will all wind down.

This may not be in strict chronological order, but this is some of what was worked on this year:

It started with a Secret Santa gift from the previous year:
