Two months since my last post. It’s not really that I haven’t had anything to say, I assure you. I just don’t remember it long enough to write it out or I haven’t felt compelled to write about it in public. I guess. Who knows?
Imagine that I’m summarizing fanciful adventures and bracing, hard-fought lessons in this post. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
With that out of the way, we can quickly douse the fires of interest by describing the months of software development that culminated the creating of an order entry system for $work. That aspect of my life is harrowing and exciting. It’s a work in progress. More on that some other time, perhaps?
I’ve been… disconnected for a month or two. I rarely open NetNewsWire and I keep Twitterific closed. I’m not really sure why I’ve shunned the torrent of information I normally subject myself to. There was a spell of time — from September to mid November — where i struggled to produce a modicum of giveashit. This time was terribly busy and shutting down the founts of information was a requirement to maintain my sanity. My enthusiasm to reenter the ‘normal’ information overload has been tepid at best. I just trimmed 25 blogs out of my feed list and it still feels too big. Ok, another 20 more. Down to 80. That feels better.
I’d try and summarize the year, but I have some type of malady that muddies my memory past about 30 days. My girlfriend moved in, I shipped a big software project, nearly went insane and attended a Perl conference. All that’s happened in the last few months so it’s a poor summary.
So fuck that noise. Lets talk about what is going to happen in aught-eight:
Be a good daddy
Be a good boyfriend
Enjoy my job more (working on managing up, delegating, componentizing and more)
Go on vacation (Disney World for my brother’s wedding, March 30 - April 5)
More
I’ve tried to write this post mutiple times. I finally succeeded. I’m not sure why my desire to talk to the world in this way has dried up. Surely I have things to say…
