2013 in Review

If you despise blog posts listing off all the good stuff that happened in a specific year as much as I do, you'll be happy to know that I now think less of myself as a person. But hey, there has to be some positivity right?
Although I have recently claimed that nothing really positive of importance happened in 2013, I was mainly talking about how 2013 changed the world as a whole (funny how 2013 is the subject there, I call metonymia). I still maintain that that's the case, but on a more personal level, a hell of a lot of stuff has happened, a lot of which positive as well.
Because of that I thought I'd list off all positive things that happened to me personally in 2013 (most of which software-related, weird huh?), and won't bother about the negative ones. So here we are.

• I participated in 2 ludum dares and the 7DFPS challenge (keep in mind that my first LD was LD25)
• I made two really good internet friends (Gallefray and metaldemon, they're on #ludumdare quite a lot)
• I first did some team work in a ludum dare
• I first met up with someone I met through the internet (that'd be metaldemon)
• I first did some serious assembly programming
• I wrote my own gaming library, which was actually somewhat succesful
• I wrote three/four compilers for my own programming language, the last of which worked out fairly well
• I first did open-source software
• I gained a following on twitch
• I got myself a twitter account
• I launched my own webiste
• I first started fumbling about with git, which I know use extensively for all my open-source projects
• I first started using linux seriously (might have been late 2012 as well, not sure), which I now mainly use
• I started despising Windows 8
• I started supporting the Piratenpartij
• I found out who Linus Torvalds was
• I managed to write down some of my opinions in a simple markdown file
• I fell in love with GCC
• I found out mono wasn't just a crappy .NET port
• I first did DOS and mode 13h programming
• I became more libertarian in politics
• I got my CAE grade A
• I started loving/learning Swedish
• I found out about ÆØÅ
• I started using the command line (but hey, you have to when using linux :P)
• I found out what GNU was and started disagreeing with it
• I went to Rome

And that's about it. Not a lot if you look at it like this, but quite a lot of firsts and noteworthy entries in there I'd argue, so it hasn't been all bad :)
Let's see what happens in 2014, I doubt more noteworthy stuff will happen than this.
