I'm also producing a podcast discussing the sonnets, available on

For those who prefer reading to listening, the first 25 sonnets have been compiled into a book that is available now on Amazon and the Google Play store.

stiff or tender

my neck and back... shit, my whole body aches. i've been uncomfortable for a lot of the day - specifically my chest, which leads me to suspect a pulled muscle.

i guess i thought that the climbing wall would help loosen me up. i actually performed really well, in spite of the aches, although halfway up the second attempt i felt faint and it took a few minutes before i was capable of supporting pg, let alone climbing back up myself...

... but eventually i felt better, and did well. until the walk back, when i began to feel really old.

i woke up at a surprisingly reasonable hour (noon-ish), and tried to get into a paper. then the boss called, and then i got stuck into work for the next hour or two... after finally getting my table storage wrapper class functional, i discovered that my original plan for this project was the only feasible one and that letting my boss talk me out of it was really, really bad.

after a quick chat with scr, who understands my frustration, he spoke to the boss who called me back later to discuss possible solutions. we're going to scrap our attempt to use table storage, and i've just fired off the long, detailed and often snarky email he requested listing the issues and concerns that have plagued me these past months.

i'm now stuck with having to rewrite huge chunks of code, and the boss is beyond desperate. i finished off the email by explaining that my studies have taken a back seat and they can wait no longer.

i went to singer's place to return a book i once borrowed, and invited her and her boyfriend to help me realize a sample of an idea i once had. as it turns out, he's just finishing a degree in computer science with a focus on precisely what we'd need to get an app up and running, and the more we talked the more they understood the scope of what i've been talking about, and the more enthusiastic they've both become. so we're now talking about producing a promotional video and raising capital on indiegogo, and if we raise enough... fuck it, i'll reduce my actual work hours to a minimum and focus on flipping the world around instead.
