2013 has been a rather slow but progressive year for me. It's that time of the year again so, here goes:

• On February, I built my own tweets archive site, just few months after Twitter Archive is announced. It uses CouchDB to store the tweets and it's hosted on Cloudant.

• Around mid-year, I moved on and took the next step in my career journey.

• I tried to embark on a (public) contribution streak on GitHub, only managed to do it for 33 days, from 8 August to 9 September. A little tiring but I think it's a pretty interesting experiment.

• KopiJS was born, perhaps out of boredom. It's a collaboration work by @laktek, @chuyeow, @soulofpeace and myself, with contributions by many others, to create a library and a test specification for Singaporean coffee. It became sort of trending and we had two meetups with a very good turnout!

• On 21 December, I finally release the iOS 7 theme for HackerWeb. It took me quite some time and I'm glad that the feedback has been good so far.

• Perhaps the biggest news for me this year would be the launch of Life and it was featured on Hacker News. I was really surprised at the reception as the GitHub repository got over a thousand stars and 200 forks in just one day!

• For some reason, my most favorite emoticon this year is the 'Look of Disapproval'. I've been consistently using it for cases when I read weird code or text copy, and looking back at this emoticon magically makes me feel better. ಠ_ಠ

That's all for 2013. And a big hello to 2014!
