A Whole Week
This week just flew right by. I spent some time considering why I take the time to attach a photo to most entries here. Is it for a lack of online album? To show off? Sometimes. In the end, I came to the conclusion that it's usually because it helps reflect on the subject of the photograph and write around it. Without the context of the photograph, entries would just probably be a plain summary of who-what-where-when-how. The image adds a theme. And so...

After a week of high wind and rain, yesterday was mild, had a remarkable sunset. It also happened to be my turn to take Luna out for a walk. We went to the pond, where there were literally a hundred geese off in the distance, going about their evening business. I like how the silhouette turned out, with light streaming through the fur. The fall colours have come and gone very quickly due to the wind and rain.

Also, last night I took on another project. It's a rather large PHP project. Seeing as I expect it will take about 100 hours, it's questionable whether it is the right decision. I am, after all, just getting settled into the forty hour work week. The real motivation is keeping my skills alive. Without university, keeping current with things beyond work is tricky. The question then becomes: what skills is it worth maintaining?

I just typed the following line and it made me giggle:
