64 days and counting

Okayy, Its 64 days and counting. This is my second blog for this year which shows a very bad frequency for anything close to a journal/diary/blog.

What have I been up to? The usual.In my last blog, I indicated my intention to apply for phd which I did, although not with much enthusia'.. well, I've been pulling and getting pulled by the forces and efforts related to my masters thesis; these include myself, deadlines, my supervisors, calls for papers, Job applications, inflow and outflow of masters student in the research group and many many more..Through all these, I've noticed a increasing growth of desire to work better towards the conclusion of my masters thesis----A good sign!

In the process of the time though, I've neglected things and started thinking of other things...Causing a lot of jumbles in my life's 'room'.. This thus calls for a concious effort at making things right.(including my bLog)

Why would keeping a we-b'log help in making things right? Well, after reading on one of my other interests... (Cybernetics), I was reminded of the importance of a FEEDBACK mechanism in any system that seeks to reach a level of equilibrium or "peace" or "Stable State" or something close to "perfection". The log, if well doc'ed and followed could be a form of feedback in my case. How is this? technically speeking, if a sample of what was done was kept so that future processes can access this sample and thinking on it, work on the present scene a little better, the present results may be better. The frequency of this sampling however, does have a lot of effect on the performance expected and looking at my rate,.. its..... (I won't even go there).

I'm getting a lot of motivations at the moment to do things better though and I hope things do get better.

I've got 26 days to write up my thesis, which still includes writing up like 2.5 mega code projects...
I'm to be the welfare officer for the Nigerain Student Society for UCT...
I'm a Research assistants, so I have to set up a VPN and design/upkeep the Research groups' website..
I Have a blog to keep.
And I still have to eat, take my bath and many many more!!! all in 24 HOURSSS>....
