Working on section on Org and projects

Posted on January 1st, 2008 by Sacha Chua

Just to say that I’m alive and writing. I’m at 1400 words or so for the section on Org and projects, and there’s just a little bit more to write. I’m pretty happy with the quality of my writing today, too.

In other news, I talked to two people I haven’t talked to in a while, and W- and I shoveled some neighbors’ walks. =)

I also spent some time tweaking my accounting. It’s true. Personal finances are BORING once you have a good setup. There’s only so much planning I can do. There’s also only so much analysis I can do, although it was fun figuring out how to get a PivotTable that can help me compare my expenses over the last three years. I’m looking forward to getting more data and reaching a few more milestones, but that’s about it for now… =)
