Upgraded to WordPress 2.8
I am continually amazed by the ease of working with WordPress. Not only do the themes and plugins just work, so does everything else. I upgraded my WordPress install to the latest and greatest 2.8 . Simple, clean and issue-less upgrade. This is how technology should work. Get out of the way and perform the…

Brief Hiatus
I’ll be taking a brief hiatus again from daily updates to this blog. I need to concentrate more of my time on writing my novel.

Echo: Quantity Not Quality
I’ll attempt at stealing Marika’s traffic again. And because my response is long enough to become a blog post: Yes, Marika that is true. Writing is an art. Unfortunately, in a difficult economy you need to be a generalist. I can write well too. I can code really well. But instead of concentrating on coding,…

Just Another Bug Hunt
Today feels like one of those days that I’ll really have to struggle. Struggle to not fall flat on my face. I guess not sleeping much has something to do with it. But part of me just doesn’t feel right. One of those days when I’m probably going to have to work really hard, to…

Looking Forward, Looking Back
I’ve blogging for a while now. This particular site and setup doesn’t suggest that I’ve been blogging since 2005. Of course nowadays, I blog more often than I did then. But the fact remains. I noticed this because when I imported my old Blogger blog to WordPress, I did a messy job of importing my…

Hitting the Ground Running
Before I left for my leave, I left a bunch of thing half-done. I also had planned tasks too. But I never got around to doing them earlier. Life’s twists and turns surprise you and throw all your carefully laid plans to the wayside. Now I’m back, I can get back to them. Time to…

Forced March
Another quick update on the writing. I managed to write up the second thread/part of chapter one. I am not in the mood for writing today actually. But I’m going to force myself to keep writing. Once I have the entire book on paper I can agonize over it later. Content first, editing later. Anyways…

Update on Writing
Yesterday I wrote the first section of chapter 1 of my novel. I’m not sure about all the elements of the novel, especially the names and characters. I might not want to base my characters completely on real life friends. But I will work with what I have as a rough, rough first draft. I…

Recovery and 15 Minutes Writing Sprints
As I sat down to do some writing I couldn’t have expected it to happen. I had 15 minutes to kill, and so I thought that I would just fire up the current chapter I was working on. The rain ended my plans for a walk. But this I didn’t imagine. I didn’t imagine all…

Bruised and Sore
Uff! I’m bruised and tired from yesterday’s taekwondo session. The warmup consisted of a lot of running, jumping jacks, pushups, sit ups, and leg raisers. At the end I wanted to pass out from panting exhaustion on the floor. A great workout, followed by practice on kicking and hand motions. There is so much for…
