The almighty .plan

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +1000

So... nearly a year without updating.

In some ways, a lot has happened in those 12 months. I gradually
regained the use of my hands, although I still can't use a mouse
and I have to take regular typing breaks, at least I can type
and code again. I'm back teaching online and on-campus.

I was threatened by the people I was forced to live with, and
had to stay away from my own "home" for my own safety, camping
at RMIT often and going back when nobody else was there. I
worked my arse off for a semester, failing half my subjects so I
could afford to buy my own place.

In other ways, not much has happened. I can't remember the last
time I had a chance to play a game, let alone work on anything
interesting in my own time. My typing problems certainly haven't
helped there. I feel like I haven't learnt or done anything new
for years - the little study I've been doing has mostly involved
stuff I already knew.

I'm seriously considering abandoning the .plan in favour of
something I would find easier to update - although the term
"podcasting" makes me want to puke into my microphone. In the
meantime, I have an assortment of miscellaneous links, quotes
and other stuff I never got around to posting.
