Nutters.org The Nutter Log
Haphazardness in progress Entry id: misc-20010817

Holy cow — it's been over ten days since I've done a log entry, and even then the last entry was a pretty lame one. This lack of activity reflects increased activity on my part in the real world, or at least that part of the total universe which isn't Nutters.org, whether or not it deserves the moniker "real". This is primarily due to my new pattern of university attendance: ostensibly "full time". In actual practice, I'm doing about one full day of "employment" type work a week, attending university three days a week, and spending every other moment engaged in either homework assignments, voluntary work, "favours", or the organisation of my personal workspace (which has been sorely neglected for years). The word that best describes this pattern is "haphazard".

It seems that being obliged to sit at my desk at work full time provided me with more Nutter Log opportunities than it ought to have.

It's not my intention for the Nutter Log to be a journal of what I do on a day to day basis, and I'd rather not fill it with entries explaining why I'm not filling it with entries. Even so, if the last couple of weeks is anything to go by, updates will be sporadic at best for the next few months. That's not to say that I don't have ideas, but rather a lack of spare time in which to implement them. Please pardon me if I major on brief for a while, since that's the only way I can increase my chances of actually getting stuff done.
