It has been six months since my last confession


It has been too long since my last blog entry. Things got v.crazy end of 2005. There was all this job relocation stuff causing much excitement and tension in the house. I was teaching and, gawd help me, decided on a crazed whim to totally change the code base of the subject. Brother and family came to stay over XMAS. I got my Portland winter blues. I had large deadlines for $$$. The work for those deadlines was a little too interesting: for weeks I could not recreate an experiment that someone else was basing their whole PhD on. Then I found a cool loophole that lead to much paper writing. Which took more time. Etc etc.

Suffice to say that now I am in the middle of a two week Hawaiian vacation and I think I EARNED this. Lots of reading. Lots of smoothies (did you know that coconut smoothie with rum has another name- pina colada?).

And lots of web-page hacking (check it: menzies.us) where the main idea was that my main web page is a really a portal into (a)this blog; (b)my code store (at hometimm.net); (c)my picture store (at FLICKR); (d)my tags at del.icio.us; (e)etc. So not one ring to rule them all but a bunch of rings kept in one pocket.

Anyone, I'll write more soon. Promise.
