Research and bears

Okay, so I don't spend all my time watching films and reading books, despite the preponderance of such in this weblog. I just spend most of my time doing things I can't talk about here. Top secret! Well, no, just generally incomprehensible or boring.

Research-wise, I'm alternating between getting not much done and being productive and excited about my ideas, in quanta of about a week. And everything else seems to go along with this; when I'm doing good research, I'm reading lots of books and watching movies, and when I'm not I'm... not. Of course this correlation says nothing about the direction of the causality. Perhaps it's something else, I don't know.

Anyway, just now I'm on a research upswing, and I'd like to be able to write about it here, but it wouldn't really mean anything. Well, at the moment I'm in a state of knowing how much I don't know, but even before this current foray into the unknown I could barely describe what I'm doing to the people in my department, never mind a general computer science community or the world.

In other news. Particularly enjoying climbing wall recently. On Sunday I was having fun with overhangs. I finally have enough strength to make some progress there...

Apparently my comment system is broken, and I can't edit my last entry. Bah. Perhaps I shouldn't write code. Okay, until I fix that, note that Kontroll featured a bear girl, it was not a bunny suit.

Fixed

Okay, comments now work again, and the entry editing problem was merely user idiocy.

What I get for writing something in Perl.

ups&downs

Well i don't know but maybe when the research is not flowing you should read/watch a movie...a wee bit... and reverse the trend. Balance ah tis what we all seek! Good news on work and climbing front x
