If you are curious about what I've done specifically regarding the last year's list, here it is:

Anyway, I already know that [I shouldn't tell people about my goals](https://youtu.be/mKdm5xSZiOA), but I'm working on reducing my intention-behavior gap year by year and these posts help me check whether there has been an improvement in that or not.

It's been two years since I planned to come back to **Blender** and use it more often, but because of working on other projects that lack that necessity, I rarely opened it.

However, I was searching for a nice wallpaper for my PC that didn't have the subject in a central position (to avoid the overlap with my desktop icons), so I made a Windows 11-like **wallpaper** using cloth simulation included in Blender. I made a light and dark version and posted the [result](https://twitter.com/MedianiSamuel/status/1673223482052599808/) on Twitter. Here's a gif with the transition from light to dark theme:

#### Chrome extension

On July, if finished my first **Chrome extension**. It's called [Tabs/Windows Counter and Stats](https://github.com/SamMed05/tab-counter-stats) and it basically keeps track of the number of tabs and windows opened displaying the data in a chart using Chart.js.

I published the extension on the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tabswindows-counter-and-s/oihkkgbnlimoffcljflafghgmaocambp) and later worked on another experimental extension for getting statistics from a Spotify playlist, called [Spotify Playlist Stats](https://github.com/SamMed05/spotify-playlist-stats) (for this latter extension, it may not work anymore and I don't plan on developing it anymore).

I made the Tabs/Windows Counter and Stats extension because historically my browser has been keeping open a ton of tabs constantly, and I always wanted to see the various upward and downward trends in the number of tabs open each day. BTW, this year I finally closed all my tabs! (I'm way more excited than any normal person would be 😅)

On my [C/C++ Notes website](https://c-cpp-notes.vercel.app/), where I put explanations on the basics of (mostly) C++, I made some little updates and corrections and added new dedicated sections for conditional, loops and random numbers. I also made a collection of exercises (providing the code solution) that you can try to put the theory into practice.

I can't say that I finished it, but I made quite some progress. However, I'm not sure if I'll continue it in the next year. After all, now with AI chatbots you can get almost the same information I put in my notes just as easily as by consulting the website (even more, actually), so it would no longer make much sense to spend time on this project, that was born to simplify learning to beginners.

Ultimately, of course, the goal is to be happy, but this is more of a general lifestyle than a "next year commitment."

That's all for now.
