Procrastination - geek motivation.

It's approaching deadline season, that time of year where every lecturer at University wants something from you.
This also means that it's the time of the year when I spend 70% of my time procrastinating, and avoiding doing the 'something' that the lecturers want, often with interesting results.
I seem to have outdone myself this year. In order to avoid writing a 4-page report, I've switched from KDE to Gnome *again*, extensively compared Linux's alternatives to Quicksilver (namely Katapult and Gnome-Do), searched for (without success) a new phone that will integrate nicely with my laptop, finished securing my Debian media server, drank 8 (I think) cups of coffee, and two bacon sandwiches.
Not only does that mean I have to rush my report, and probably won't get any sleep before work, but it means I have a good week or two of blog-fodder.
Watch this space. (or rather, the space above this, where the new posts go. Yeah, I'm picky when I'm tired).

If anybody needs to get hold of me this summer, I'll be preparing for, attending, or recovering from, both Leeds Festival and Give It A Name. :-D
If you're lucky enough to be attending, say hi - it shouldn't be hard to spot the computer geek at the front of the Silverstein and Billy Talent crowds :)
