Odd Dreams.

I had so much caffinated coffee yesterday that I was only able to sleep in 2-hour intervals last night. During the last interval I had a dream in which I was working for some abusive company and finally exploded and yelled 'I quit!'. Then I assaulted the boss and one of the top managers. In the dream it was perfectly justified.

I woke up feeling quite refreshed from it!

Waitaminute...

I think I must have blanked out for a bit there. I certainly don't remember going downstairs to get coffee yet, but here I am sitting at the computer drinking some, and its still warm.

Wait a sec... Its all slowly coming back to me now. I *did* go downstairs and get coffee. I even had a conversation with taxlady. It looks like its gonna be one of those days...

Harder than Diamond.

Mankind has just created the first artificial substance that is harder than diamonds. It an arrangement of carbon atoms called aggregated diamond nanorods.

The Challenge.

Today is the 30th of August. I made a commitment to myself to write 31 essays by the 31st of August. Currently, I'm at 26. So, I have 2 days to write 5 essays. Its very doable, but its going to take up most of those two days. If I seem somewhat scarce until then, you'll know why.

What I should have written yesterday.

Here's yesterday's essay, somewhat late. Its called CTO Desiderata and its in my willcodeforfood blog.

Today's essay.

Today's essay is called In Praise of Older Workers and can be found in my willcodeforfood blog.

Almost there!

I just wrote another essay entitled Book-o-mat which can be found in my technaut blog. I am now only one essay behind where I should be, so if I manage to write two tomorrow, I will have successfully finished the august_writing challenge!
