Catching Up on my Messages

May 18, 2008 20:36 +0000 | Miscellaneous 4

Some of you may have noticed a distinct lack of updates both here and in my email. I've taken to marking things as unread and letting them sit while I look for time to sit down and write out a proper response to each one.

The obvious problem with this however, is the more messages to which you do this, the more time you need to sit down and get them all out the door... Well, now that I'm up here in Kelowna for a few days, I'm finding that I suddenly have the time and I'm working my way through.

I'd like to take a moment though to issue a request: Please stop sending me Facebook messages. Val is right, it's an obvious attempt to privatise email and in the end, it's just another place to check. Email works, lets all use it k?

I have a big post about a neat idea I have that I want to make in the near future... I may even make it this weekend. Ooh, and quick note: I'm learning Python. It's fun.

Python is very fun - I used it to make scripts to automate out the boring manual part of my undergrad thesis. Alas, I don't really have many reasons to use it lately...

What about a Facebook wall post in direct response to your Facebook status? I'd feel a bit weird emailing you about something like that.

Oh that's cool. It's within the realm of Facebook so that makes sense. I just don't like having to wade through two sets of mail and Facebook's interface is frustratingly slow for such things.
