State of the blog

Where to begin…

It has been many months since I last wrote on this journal of mine, quite possibly because college has been taking so much of my time as of late. It’s funny, you’d think moving forward things would get easier, or at the very least stay pretty much the same. But it has been one hell of a Fall semester so far, in part due to the large number of term assignments (4 of them) and the more esoteric courses I’m attending (organic chemistry, Japanese). Still, things are soon coming to an end and the prospects of doing an internship this coming winter are higher than ever.

Which somewhat brings us to /dev/klog. On every copy of my resume, one can read this blog’s address. As such, the thought of someone responsible for hiring interns visiting a pretty much dead blog has been running circles in my mind as of late. I suppose I’m pretty much lazy, in the sense that whatever can be done later will get done later. Unfortunately, lazy execution is a pretty good software engineering strategy, but hardly a successful one in real-life.

Consequently, I’ll be dedicating more time to this blog than I have in the past. Not solely for the sake of my winter internship, but also because I truly believe one should stop and synthesize one’s mind on a regular basis. Structured thinking and discipline is key to success in many fields, and that’s certainly the case of engineering.

I realize this entry is rather short, but it’s a preface of sort to upcoming content. There are many things that need to be talked about, including Apple, Mac OS X, Cocoa, my projects, some of the things I’ve learned this semester, politics, and so on. In addition, my projects will also get some sorely needed attention. Updated news, better descriptions, frequently asked questions, a bug report infrastructure and a few completely new project pages.

Stay tuned!
