It’s been a bit quiet around these parts — and, of course, vice-versa, things in real life have been anything but! [I'm not actually as disgruntled as I look in this photo.]
Without going into too much detail (I don’t think I’m allowed to yet), I’ve been looking for a new job. The search has been fruitful — it seems I’m a hotter ticket than I thought — but my days have been marred with an overwhelming sense of loss. It sucks to lose something that you’ve put so much effort in to.
Anyway, enough cryptic shit. The weather in England is absolutely stunning at the moment. We’ve had three days of 18-20C (68F), so I’ve spent a fair bit of time outside, sitting on the grass, trying to finish Hyperion. It’s my first real sci-fi book (other than Ender’s Game), and unsurprisingly, given my immensely scientific and engineeringish background, I’m enjoying it a lot.
I think that’s about it. I’ll try to keep up with 365, but as you can tell, I’m struggling. For the last few weeks my attention has been fully on securing my writing career. Photography will hopefully resume shortly.
Yesterday (long live the gay druid I say!)

It’s in the eyes, Alexa! It can’t be in anything else… unless you like curly beards…
Smouldering would have slightly parted lips, Lizzy. This is definitely more ‘disgruntled’!
I think you’re doing better than me, Aiko! But yeah, I don’t think many people actually finish 365. I’m glad you understand my dilemma — I just hope you can’t sympathize with my hairy dilemma…

That’s a real bummer about what happened over at DLS, though as you say you’re a hotter ticket than most.
Hopefully you’ll join a similar enough team with a diverse range of topics which helps make you shine as well as inform us poor plebeians of the net about ongoing changes.
I’m just wondering how Zuze will get a job with 3+ years of time-wasters for a resume

It looks like the new job (site) will be diverse! And definitely not software-centric (though there will be some software, I’m sure).
Erez won’t have a problem, I hope. He did write a lot of non-Time Wasters, too
Thanks for stopping by!
