Three weeks straight of no weight loss — there were two ‘blow-it’ days in that time period, but otherwise pretty okay (and the blow-its weren’t horrific). I guess it’s just one of those plateau things, which is funny due to much more regular gym-going. I think it will take some calorie cutback to keep things on track.

Actually, I suppose a better way of putting that is to knock things off track, as a plateau means the body has gotten used to the program. Coincidentally Denyse forwarded me a 24 Hour Fitness article today which talked about this.

So I’m trying to work out in my head how I want to handle the whole journaling/blogging/writing thing.

However, I’d definitely like to add journaling capability to Celsius1414 soonish, but it will be in the context of Notanda. Really the decision there is how soon I want to make that happen.

And do I want to use a version of Notanda to do what I’m doing in VoodooPad now?

I’ve enjoyed the journaling I’ve done this past month or two. It has been a real beneficial part of both my writing and my life as a whole. What’s less clear is how much of that would have been desirable on a website.

Not that much, really.

That I think has been my difficulty, the breakdown in my thinking about all these different writing projects: the pie being divided amongst Public, Private, and Fiction.

Really it’s not the same. Ideally, here’s what I thinking about:

Celsius1414: personal site, but more along the lines of Tao of Mac in execution (and amount of personal info for that matter).

blogging.la: SoCal-related stuff, but it will probably be an outlet for humor and surreality.

Journal of the ‘project’: whatever I’m working on at the moment will have its own journal.

Collaborative work.

Personal journal: not for public consumption, although pieces may wind up public eventually.

This is something I can live with I think.

First thing, though, is to figure out a new design for the site. Need something really new.

Thought a bunch of times about moving these time-based entries into their own pages. Still might someday.

Apropos of nothing. ;)

In preparation for potentially installing File::MacOSX and psync, I set fink going updating itself, which is taking forever with all the compiling and whatnot. Also making the laptop hotter than normal on the old lap. :)

Funny thing is I’m really sleepy, so I almost just have to let it go — if it weren’t for having to interact with the damn thing, I’d go to sleep right now.

Finally finished outlining Part I of the novel tonight, which is spiffy-cool. I’ll be able to jump back into things tomorrow, especially while I’m waiting for all the backup copying and dvd-burning to finish.

Need to run:

• fink configure
• fink index
• fink update-all
