The Cold Approaches

Chilly night, possibly preceding a snowfall. Feeble jackets won’t keep the cold out for long.

My hackathon illness seems to have followed me from California: HackNY saw me talking with people rather than finishing something. And getting 4 hours of sleep, which is simultaneously tolerable and not.

Or more generally, it seems the pace of my hacking has fallen off, and other things shoulder in. The state of my writing in particular has fallen into disrepair, with a few posts sitting in the edit queue for a few months now.

Well, it’s more accurate to say that everything I’m doing is slowly starving for time. Time and will, but mostly time: there is only so much will to go around, and bioengineering isn’t good enough to fix that yet.

But really, the only reason I write here after 1.5 months of silence is the fact that missing an entire calendar month without blogging anything is… unacceptable. Even if nothing especially newsworthy happened to me this month, it would irk to be missing “October 2011” in that archive list. And so, I go. Hopefully next month holds more flash in store.
