No site update until 2025
Hi everyone!
I mentioned about a year ago that I had started a new job, at the Swedish Election Authority. I really love this job, but it has been very busy so far and will continue to be for a long time, since we're building a new it system for the Swedish general election next year. Also, while my health issues have improved somewhat, they have not disappeared. They are probably stress-related, so I have to do other things than computer work during my spare time, to be fit for my work duties. Thus it has not been possible for me to do a site update this year, and I will definitely not have more time next year. Truth is, I need to take some time off duty to be able to catch up.
I would love to take that time off at some point though, and I have talked to my boss about it, but it will probably not be possible until after the EU election 2024. Then, on the other hand, I should have rather plenty of time...
Thanks Holden and Sweepstakes Ron for your work on the end-of-year spreadsheets. I am so grateful for your hard work! It will not be lost! I also hope to add many of the lists that Pierre, StevieFan, lagire and many others have compiled for me in different spreadsheets over the years. In 2024...
In the meantime, I hope the forum will continue to be active! Thank you all for making it such a great place!

Re: No site update until 2024
Hello my friend Henrik, I hope you are well. Maybe it's a dumb question, but when you mean update until 2024 you mean adding new lists but also the next correction of errors in the last update? Especially things with wrong links or wrong spelling..
Namaste and love to you

Re: No site update until 2024
Henrik, I've said this many times before, and I will continue to say it: the fact that you've kept this site going as long as you have (over 20 years!) is nothing short of remarkable. Take care of yourself and do what you need to do. Good luck with everything!
Re: No site update until 2024
No worries Henrik! Best of luck with the job!

Re: No site update until 2024
Hey listen, I've already been collecting lists for the last four years and I'll do it for another four happily as long as you're doing what you love and keeping busy. You deserve good things, Henrik.

Re: No site update until 2024
I’ll echo what everyone else said, I think most of us already assume that it’ll just get updated whenever you have time, it’s amazing the work you’ve put into this! Please don’t feel pressured to do work on this site at the expense of your career.
Also the job sounds very exciting, I wish you and your family the best.

Re: No site update until 2024
I would love to hear more about your job with the election authority. I was a member of the civil grand jury in Santa Clara County and we completed an investigation regarding recount mandates. I plan to PM you regarding this subject matter shortly.
I am looking forward to the next update - whenever it might be.
Thanks for keeping this website alive.

Re: No site update until 2024
I’m glad you are prioritising your wellbeing, Henrik. This year I learned the hard way that not managing stress well takes its toll on you. So kick back and relax whenever you can, rather than worrying about site updates. And thank you for only postponing the update (even if it’s for three years ) rather cancelling it altogether. Wishing you all the best with everything you do, as always.
Re: No site update until 2024
Glad you're enjoying the new job and that your health has improved. If you need any help from the technical side (the website, automation, etc.) I'd be glad to help!
Re: No site update until 2024
Henrik, congrats my friend on the new job, improved health and continuing to keep this site going. I have enjoyed this site for 15+ years and try to participate on the forum as much as possible. It has also been an essential part of my ongoing research and I am sure I'm not the only one who will be anxiously awaiting the next update in 3 years!!!
Re: No site update until 2024
Congrats on the new job.
Re: No site update until 2024
Glad you love your job and that your health is better, Henrik. I always love the updates, but I love the community even more. I'm just thankful that you've kept this site going all these years. My life would definitely be missing a lot without it.
Re: No site update until 2024
honestly, enjoy your new job as much as you can. And even if it's not 2024, even if it's 2030 that the site will be updated or never, it doesn't matter.
Keep taking good care of yourself and thanks for everything you've done here.

Sad to hear we won't get an update within a few years, not gonna lie, but of course I echo the sentiment that Henrik needs to take the time he needs. Work and especially health definitely take precedence.

Hi Henrik, have you ever thought of sharing the burden with others? I'm sure there are lots of people here more than capable of doing what you are unable to do at the moment, because of your health and work. The baby is always yours, but you wouldn't be alone on this seemingly impossible task. Ursus

In the meantime, I hope the forum will continue to be active! Thank you all for making it such a great place!
When I took the job at the election authority, I thought it would be a job with intense work periods around the elections, mixed with quiet periods inbetween. But there are so many things going on all the time and I have also undertaken a greater responsibility. It’s the best job I’ve ever had, but also the busiest one. That ”plenty of time in 2024” statement is definitely not true anymore. I don’t know if it will be possible for me to do a site update then. If it will, it will be primarily to catch up with the last years’ end of year lists.
Thanks Vacantjoy, StevieFan and everyone else for all the lists you have added to the critics lists section!!! Some day I hope to find time to build a system where new lists can be added to the AM database without a lot of work from me. This system should probably also include a voting procedure among forumers to decide which lists are eligible. But that is a rather big project, I don’t know if or when that could happen.

Re: No site update until 2024
First of all, congratulations on reaching your professional goals and knowing that you are having a good time at work. Due to the issue of the difficulty of a future update, for those of us who have been on the forum for years, we knew that it was a possible scenario and we understand it. My personal fear was that with the recent indiscriminate lists postings on the forums, the work would be even more difficult, but as you said, it's very difficult to do more than add the most recent yearly lists. Likewise, if there is a way to help with a little bit, we are here, take care of yourself.Henrik wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 11:15 amTime for another update, not a very AM-positive one I’m afraid…Henrik wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 11:33 am Hi everyone!

Re: No site update until 2024
Maybe as Henrik said we should decentralize the power and divide the work among all of us and not just one person,i think its a good idea for some forumites to have a vote on eligibility criteria ( to voting on the lists that could meet the requirements but are debatable*) (i say some because there are bots,spammers and etch ), i personally would like to have an opinion in EOD 2010s and to some new sources because i have devoted so much time in this section, from 2017 and onwards except the EOYs and EODs 2010 which are incomplete by now because we have added more lists in these section we have only included 2 Rolling Stones lists , so basically all the lists that have been added to the site sit in oblivion the last 6 years,so we may find a way to collect and add all these info with the help of everyone, keep up the great work guys ! Best of luck to your job Henrik and to the other forumites!

Re: No site update until 2024
Maybe I'm wrong but I think Henrik is not referring to voting to change the eligibility criteria but to voting on the lists that could meet the requirements but are debatable, but always following the rules that Henrik considers for admission to AM

I finally completed listening to the top 10,000 songs
I am so grateful to Henrik for keeping this site alive and when possible updated.
My interest now grows about whether we will be graced with a 2024 update, or more likely have an update in a subsequent year.
Lots to look forward to.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Re: No site update until 2024
What does everyone mean when you say “classical should be factored in”? I feel like there aren’t any lists out there that compare The Rolling Stones to the Lovely Ludwig Van, and it’s not like the classical genre is banned from the site, with 19 albums in the Top 3000
