Like many people I know, the dicho\u00adtomy between doing and blog\u00adging is often resolved by more doing, and not so much blog\u00adging, espe\u00adcially with Twit\u00adter, Identi.ca, et al around for the quick asides. Time to craft a care\u00adful post is in short sup\u00adply, espe\u00adcially suf\u00adfi\u00adcient time to craft a post that looks effortless. <\/p>\n
But today one of my pro\u00adjects has fin\u00adished one major phase so I\u2019m tak\u00ading some time. I\u2019ve star\u00adted work\u00ading in health\u00adcare, or more pre\u00adcisely, doing pro\u00adject man\u00adage\u00adment on a pro\u00adject basis for Alschuler Asso\u00adci\u00adates<\/a>, involving lots of XML<\/span>, lots of cli\u00adent dis\u00adcus\u00adsions, and work\u00ading with a dis\u00adtrib\u00aduted team across 3 timezones. It\u2019s inter\u00adest\u00ading, and com\u00adplic\u00adated, and I still feel like I\u2019m just get\u00adting star\u00adted although I\u2019ve been work\u00ading on it for almost six months.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s just as well those pro\u00adjects are in a slower spell, since in a little over a week the XML<\/span> Sum\u00admer School<\/a> starts, for which I\u2019m Course Dir\u00adect\u00ador. Most of the prep work has been done, and soon the fun and learn\u00ading start. I enjoy going each year, catch\u00ading up on new tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies, learn\u00ading more about the ones I\u2019ve heard about before but haven\u2019t had a chance to try out, catch\u00ading up on what\u2019s new in the world of XML<\/span>. I did\u00adn\u2019t make it to Bal\u00adis\u00adage<\/a> this year due to pro\u00adject com\u00admit\u00adments (see above); the XML<\/span> Sum\u00admer School makes up for that to some extent. And this year we\u2019re in Oxford at the right time for the St Giles Fair, which makes for a change to the usu\u00adal pub crawl.<\/p>\n Oth\u00ader pro\u00adjects are tak\u00ading a back seat, unfor\u00adtu\u00adnately. There\u2019s only so much time in the day, and so many inter\u00adest\u00ading things to fill it with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Like many people I know, the dicho\u00adtomy between doing and blog\u00adging is often resolved by more doing, and not so much blog\u00adging, espe\u00adcially with Twit\u00adter, Identi.ca, et al around for the quick asides.
