Well, its been a few days since I’ve written anything. There are a few reasons for this. First, my brain feels like cement was poured over it sometime last night. My entire family has come down with some sort of cold. We are all in a nasty funk - which leads directly into the second reason I haven’t written in a while: I have been busy helping Amanda (my wife) take care of two sick kids. Emma, our precious 3 year old, has a minor cold, and Jack, our 3 month old, has some sinus issues (== snot). On top of that, Amanda and I both feel like crap.
I am scheduled to give a presentation on Jython next Monday to the OJUG. I’m not nearly asprepared as I would like to be. I want to speak on this topic because it interests me, and so that I can learn the technology. Stephen Covey writes in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People that one of the best techniques to help learn is to know that you will be taching this information to someone else. It is usually a great motivator for me. This time however, I just don’t feel that. Maybe it is because I have pushed myself a little too much on JKeyManager. I am way ahead of my anticipated schedule for that. Maybe it the work I am doing at my job. Or maybe it the preparation for the CLEP tests I am about to take (I’m finishing up my Bachelors). I really don’t know. Regardless, I need to pull it together this week, so I probably will not get much done on JKeyManager this week, as that is the easiest thing to drop. I will also ingore the CLEP studying for the week as well.
