Merry Newtonmass
Today (well, in about fifty minutes) is the anniversary of the
birth of our great teacher, Sir Isaac Newton. Speaking as a scion
of the enlightenment, and a non-Christian to boot, I find that a
perfectly acceptable excuse for celebration. So, happy
Newtonmass, everyone!
I will, of course, celebrate in standard mode by continuing to
work. I'm self-employed, in a job where I can basically take a
vacation any time I feel like it (read: and can manage the
insecurity of not working). This kind of devalues the idea of
public holidays. So for the past couple of years I've been in the
habit of always making sure I do some work over December 25th,
and this year is no different. I just passed 108,000 words on
GLASSHOUSE, and it should be wrapped up no later than 120,000
words. At this rate, I should finish it just before Hogmanay.
Have a good time, and try not to over-indulge!
