Unimaginatively, it was titled First Post.
Since then, a lot has changed. To celebrate this milestone, allow me to recap some significant personal and professional milestones, then and now.
| Then (2007) | Now (2017) |
|---|---|
| Blogging with Plone (via add-ons or core). | Blogging with Sphinx via ABlog. In between: WordPress, Pelican. |
| Left NIH (2005) to be self-employed. | Still self-employed, but back at NIH too. |
| Using irssi for IRC. | Using The Lounge. In between: WeeChat. |
| Engaged but not married. | Celebrating 10 years of marriage in November 2017. |
| No conferences hosted. | Organizer of Plone Conference 2008. |
| Three years before Pillow, my Python Imaging Library fork, born in 2010. | Pillow included in major Linux distributions and downloaded over 15 million times. |
| Five years before my busiest blogging year ever: 35 posts in 2012. | Averaging 15 posts per year. |
| 10 years before this post. | This post! |
Thanks for reading — see you in 10 years for another retrospective.
