2023 (blog) Year in review

January 01, 2024 — Nico Cartron

Blogging

As I did in 2022 and 2021, I'm once again doing a quick recap of what I wrote about in 2023.

Articles, Overall

Total number of articles

find tells me I wrote 135 articles in 2023:

% find . -name "*.md" -type f -mtime -365 -maxdepth 1 |wc -l
   135

This means (roughly):

  • almost 3 articles per week
  • 11 articles per month

Breakdown per month

The frequency is very inconsistent, as you can judge by yourself:

  • 7 articles in January,
  • 8 articles in February,
  • 6 articles in March,
  • 9 articles in April,
  • 10 articles in May,
  • 6 articles in June,
  • 10 articles in July,
  • 12 articles in August,
  • 10 articles in September,
  • 14 articles in October,
  • 20 articles in November,
  • 23 articles in December.

Language

Again, most articles were written in English, and 11 were in French.

Topics

My top 4 topics in 2023 were:

  • Misc: 50
  • IT: 29
  • Running: 25
  • FreeBSD: 19

(You can find all the articles broken down by tag on this page).

As a reminder:

  • in 2022, my top 4 categories were Running, Sailfish OS, PineTime and Retrograming,
  • and in 2021, my top 4 categories were Sailfish OS, PineTime, Running and Retrogaming.

What's next in 2024?

As I hinted last month, I will slow down a bit the frequency of my posts, and will probably come back to one to two posts a week.
Of course, this will also depend on topics or ideas I have, e.g. if there's a topic I want to write about and publish right now, I'll just do it :)

I will tweak again my tags (I want to remove the Amstrad/Emulation ones), and I realise that the Misc tag is a bit too broad.
Also, I may want to use just one tag per article - most do that already, but some have 2 or even 3 tags: while this allows a finer grouping, I'm not sure it's really worth it.
