Back (to the drawing board)
Good News!
I return.
It's been too long (again) - coming up on two months, if I can read between the large number of half completed drafts correctly. But somehow, the blog has reached 2000 views (give or take - I no longer have an accurate number for how many the counter on the original host showed before I moved the blog, but it has also gone up...)
Anyway, back to actually writing something. I'm not stuck into my final year at Imperial, so it's final year project time. I'll probably devote an entire post to what it's on (it'll help me formalise how to describe it before my second marker interview in a couple of weeks), but it's currently not going as well as I would like. It's not that I'm having any difficulty with the content particularly, it's just that this weeks email from my supervisor contained a presentation he gave at a recent conference, roughly covering my project. So much for actually doing something new; there again, what can you expect from someone who teaches software engineering through the medium of juggling1
To add to that, I've managed to lose all momentum over the last couple of weeks, and have had a hard time getting any traction against the world - which is why I've restarting this here and now, in an attempt to manage to cross something off a todo list, and them move onto yet another. Despite the fact it's now less than 24 hours until my next supervisor meeting, and I've done a grand total of nothing this week, I'm probably going to spend the day doing all the little things - writing up minutes, LaTeX-ing up a couple of diagrams, and possibly doing tax returns (joy!)
Hopefully, in the next few days, I'll be able to build back up to actually programming (something that I have done next to none of in the last few months - unless you count boring CRUD implementations and excessive use of LaTeX), and then be able to get on with everything.
One of the few things I did get round to recently was having a trawl through the List of bills currently before parliament, and subscribed to a couple of dozen RSS feeds. So, it's with apologies to those readers who have no interest in my take on British politics that I announce that there will be more posts about politics, highlighting such fact that there are currently two private members bills for the purpose of holding a referendum on membership of the European Union, three more which are about seceding form Human Rights agreements, and replacing them with a British Bill of Rights. And, of course, all the rest of the trash that goes into (but, thankfully, doesn't always come out of) Westminster.
Otherwise, I'll be back soon with more delicious ramblings!
