Monday 8th November

Back at work we're into the beginning of yet another monthly cycle, the last one having finished just last Thursday. It never ends - but it never gets less gruelling. Maybe gruelling is extreme - but it can feel that way on a freezing cold, wet Monday morning in November. Pity me, won't you?

In the evening I carry on working on my latest, foolish internet project - a tech/geek blog I have called Nerdmirer. Inspired by the science books I've been reading lately, along with my leisure time spent browsing sites like Gizmodo and Engadget, it's an attempt to resolve my inner nerd while aggregating all the cool tech stuff I keep spotting online. Ideally it will help me learn (and improve my University Challenge score) and I'm even considering asking people to contribute to it, helping out with the nerdy things I'm just no good at. The manifesto is up there, anyway.

Tonight's contribution is to write up my University Challenge, which one day might build into a chart of progress, learning and general geek triumph. We'll see. I'm not setting any deadlines for updates or regularity (which seems to be the death of many an earnestly-begun blog) so it'll be interesting to see how far this one gets, especially as in making it I am well out of my comfort zone.
