Much ado about something.

Amount of work needing to be done: too much to list
Amount of work successfully completed today: one computer science program

I think I may have concentration issues. Or priority issues. Or motivation issues. Or procrastination issues. Or perhaps all of the above.

Last night I loaded up the latest episode of Security Now (which I used to listen to faithfully but stopped late 2006) and attempted to listen to it while I was relaxing on my bed. I must’ve not gotten very far; the last thing I heard before I drifted off to sleep was “… remote code execution exploit of the Microsoft Windows TCP/IP…” I don’t know how Steven does it but I don’t think listening to podcasts before I drift off to sleep is the best way to get information into my head.

So anyways, the main topic of tonight’s talk is the future of this meager little blog. I was originally planning to make that “encyclopaedia” I was talking about earlier. It was originally going to be a huge page of 70×40 rectangles (similar to TCG cards or the QBee patches), each with the title of a subject, and I would write entries about each of these subjects. However, I think about it now and realize how very tedious that would be, and how very cumbersome - it’s about the same thing as a blog, only using images as categories instead of text links. So I’m definitely ditching this idea and just blogging.

You see, I’m not the “visitor-oriented” type site. I can make good graphics if I try, but frankly, not to be stuck-up and selfish, but I don’t enjoy making things for others to use. Either 1) people don’t use them in the first place, or 2) I get no credit for it. So why should I spend time into making my visitor content beautiful if no one’s going to use them or adhere to the rules behind the usage? Another reason is then I feel the incessant nagging to update. With a blog, I can update anytime I want - whenever I have a thought that needs to be typed up. (By the way isn’t it interesting that we type UP but write DOWN?) With content, though, if you don’t update in a while people start wondering why there isn’t new stuff.

I am, however, a very opinionated girl who loves nothing more than talking about random subjects. So why not share the love (and hate) on a blog instead? =)

Tomorrow’s schedule:
9am - wake up, breakfast
10am to 12pm - read Moderato Cantabile
12pm to 1pm - lunchtime
1pm to 5pm - summaries for Moderato Cantabile, take-home test, record SnM lines, reinstall Kubuntu (can’t do this, Vista’s retarded), computer science worksheet
5pm to 6pm - study for Biology test/do study guides
6pm to 8pm - study group with Sapphi at B&N
8pm to 9pm - study for Calculus test
9pm to 11pm - more programming
11pm to 1am - Calculus/Government/Physics or recreation
