I’ve managed to somehow pass another night here not writing code. Ana told me once that unless I’m coding I always complain that I’m not working, not getting enough done. And added that I should change my idea of what work was. But I can’t shake it, nothing else feels like work, or at least doesn’t feel very productive.

I was hoping to do a bit of a Xapian versus PyLucene comparison tonight and perhaps begin to integrate one of them into my project. But that will have to wait. It was too important to set up a new blog.

I decided I should blog more. I have another blog, which I update infrequently. It has various things about my kids and other random bits and pieces. I don’t really feel like polluting it with geeky or technical thoughts.

I spend time reading other people’s blogs, some of whom are my friends. It’s not a bad way to stay in touch – very minimal, you just read along if you want. There’s no need to address anyone in particular, to reply, to do anything. I enjoy it and so I figured others would probably be happy to read along as I do my thing.

I spend a great deal of time these days sitting up in the middle of the night hacking on obscure things. It’s fun, though I am too easily distracted (as you can see). Occasionally I wish I didn’t feel like I was laboring in obscurity, so I’m going to post random thoughts here and see what comes back, if anything. I’ll probably enjoy doing it no matter what.

More soon.
