Everyday we are bombarded by having to move in different directions. That does not change when you work for yourself. Every action becomes an evaluation in what you are doing next. Last week for me was mostly occupied with speeding up the networking code for Maze Pseudo. While that does not mean much to many, it is a direction that I choose to follow. It is and was such an engaging task that I decided to not write a blog last week. So that covers the direction not taken. I have a little more to do on network and then it will be on to a help view. There are other tasks left, but that is probably enough for me to want to do a release.
Choosing what to blog about recently has become more challenging. Not that I do not have things to blog about, but choosing which one. Even spending the few minutes to do this gets interrupted with E3 housing contemplation. Sometimes these distractions are useful in that they give our brains more time to workout in the background other tasks. This is why I find myself particularly productive on Mondays. Other people are too busy on Monday to bother me and I have had a two-day break.
I want to talk about politics. I really do. But probably not in the way you think. In past years, it felt like there were a couple bad choices and it ultimately comes down to choosing the lesser of two evils or throwing chance to the wind since my vote rarely counts: I don't think I've voted for the winner in many years. But this year, I really want a good candidate to vote for. The top runners scare me. Good people do not run for office. Or perhaps they are only good because nobody has put them under a microscope. How do you find someone in politics to believe in?
Perhaps I do not want to talk about politics. Distractions. Back to working on things I have more control over: Squirrels!
