Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

March: teaching and no trips to Aotearoa NZ but instead Edmonton, Vancouver, and Peterborough

Last month of classes and two trips to referee in the West.

February: teaching and a trip to Aotearoa NZ

Yet more course prep, a trip to Pohara and Angelus, and Quebec for Christmas.

Oops, back to 2 years of backlog, though barely. Better do something about that.

January: teaching

Yet more course prep, a trip to Pohara and Angelus, and Quebec for Christmas.

December: Wellington, Pohara/Angelus, and Quebec

Still less than 2 years of backlog, though January will be slower for sure, with 3 courses of teaching.

November: Wellington

Time for course preparation, plus another paper submission.

November: photos post

Less procrastination in November, though also no travel, so still a high number of photos processed. Notably, the oldest unprocessed set is now December 2023, so less than 2 years of backlog.

October: Wellington, Ontario, and Whitehorse

Mostly NSERC Discovery Grant editing, plus a Wilderness First Responder recert and the Ontario Open.

October: photos post

In October I was working on my NSERC Discovery proposal, so I may have procrastinated sometimes by processing pictures. I selected way more pictures than in any recent month (1330 versus 846 in July), and the total number of pictures in the pool was 16% higher in July (3883 versus 2642). July did include a large collection of Estonian bird photos (710) and a walk up to Apostolidis (528). This month, on the other hand, I had lots of tiny sets, including in-transit days. Still, there were 13 over-100-picture days. (updated: spreadsheet error)
