Being embroiled in a wondrous software project has made me forget about this little blog of mine, and I wonder why I haven't used it as an outlet more often. There's no chance of me writing anything remotely reflective in these hectic times, but it sure seems like a fine opportunity for fiery ranting, no? I don't think I have it in me to put any of these down in words, but we shall see.

I might however have it in me to make some sweeping statements about the project in general, which I might do in the upcoming week. If there is no update by the end of the week, then it will mean that the project has once again consumed my time, which is probably a better summary of it than any description I can make.

Update: I should've suspected this would be empty by the end of the week - in fact, I can hardly remember even creating this post. Then again, I can hardly remember writing some of the things I apparently did yesterday.

The project has given me the excuse to use a Wiki, which is something I've been meaning to do for a long time. It seems like Wikipedia should be the greatest, most ambitious project in our recent history, but at some point it can only provide a mild taste of what something is really about. There are certain matters where it is much easier to gather people in an attempt to make some sort of comprehensive article, but others (for instance, medical ones) do not go far beyond information already available on other websites. One can look to Wikibooks for more details, sure, but even here, many authors give up way too soon (excluding one of the part-time readers of this blog!).
