Happy New Year for 2025

January 01, 2025 by Chris Billows in Business Beller, Hobby Heedings tags: Awareness / Understanding, Blogging, Business Development

.

I am wishing everyone a Happy New Year for 2025. I wish that the new year brings you peace, good health, and good fortune.

There is not much to report as far as my projects are concerned but I continue to plug away at them and do find myself inspired for periods of time. This past year had some non-serious health setbacks that impacted on my energy levels. Plus the full-time career does seem to take its pound of flesh from me.

What is exciting is that I will have put in enough years of service at my career that I could retire with a pension later this year. That is very exciting but I don’t think I’ll retire just yet. There are some financial goals we want to meet before taking that step. It will be interesting to see how I will feel when I do reach the milestone. I’ve heard from others that knowing that they could retire, the relationship with work is transformed.

.

In summary:

  • Heropath – Stuck in redesign and reimagining with a less ambitious project called Mythway being shifted to. It sure is hard to make games!
  • FanSeeStats – Work is carrying on and there is an update coming in the next few weeks.
  • YerTunes – I am sure I am going to move into be a subdomain of Billows Cyber Enterprises when the domain expires. Maybe I’ll relaunch it as its own domain if there is some momentum with it.
  • CreateOrConquer – I have decided it is time to close this website which is where it all got started for me back in 2010 when I purchased it. The site is not generating traffic or revenue so its time to close it down. Its a lesson about my stubborn streak and pattern to overvalue things more than what they are worth.
  • Nerdism in Winnipeg – The raw writing about game development in Winnipeg. I have gotten slowed down by a super ambitious blog post that pulled together at least five timelines into one. I need to finish that thing off and get writing.

.

As I’ve said previous New Year Days, I am thankful for the privilege to pursue these projects and wish that everyone could have the same opportunity.
