Ladies and gentlemen, my lamb:

Signed up for MobileMe today. I'm *totally* not abusing Find My iPhone.

Totally am not.

I’ve always had a hard time remembering what I need to work on when I get back from taking a break. So, I’m trying a new approach:

Let’s see how well it works out.

I’m not entirely sure what this Safari autocomplete for http://en.wikpedia.org/wiki/ says about me: 

Google Maps seems to think there’s a highway directly from these apartments to my church back home:

My greatest strength as a programmer is also my greatest weakness: I love learning. This is great when I have to figure out the complex inner parts of an NSOutlineView in source list mode and *want* to do so, but not so much when apartments in the latest city of whimsy or Apple releases something shiny and new.

 I need to find a way to work around myself; to make implementing complex issues as fun as researching them (ha). Part of the problem is process, or so I like to tell myself. If only I had a better version control system, or it were more integrated, or my windows had tabs, or I had a faster computer… if only, if only. Of course process is important — I don’t know what I’d do without my excellent and trustworthy task manager — but there will always be shiny new things to distract, and the more time I spend looking at them, the less money I have to spend on them.

 Yet in all this, I find myself fighting over seemingly obvious things to do no matter how much work has been done, like adjourn for meals at semi-decent times or take walks. The meaningful gives way to the medial, and I find myself lying awake at night wondering what precisely I’ve accomplished.

 How do you overcome distraction while continuing to take care of basic needs like food and sleep?
