Changes - 1/1/2006

It all starts rolling together. Nadir achieved. Zenith ahead.

Dakar - 1/2/2006

Having a blast keeping up with the Dakar rally. I'm actually enjoying doing the daily updates. I only hope that some of the vehicles I'm following are still running at the end.

Writing - 1/2/2006

I've worked on the novel three days in a row. I love working steady.

Programming - 1/3/2006

The car racing schedule is developing nicely. I've got the time needed to add a new series down to about 20 minutes each. Of course the ones I've already added have started to change things and screw up what I've alreadu done, but so far the fixes are minor.

Explanation - 1/8/2006

The title for this month's journal, "Nadir Achieved", does not refer to a low point. It refers to the far point of a swing. I've reached some limits in my life and now I'm heading back the other way. I'll give more details soon.

Writing - 1/8/2006

I wrote 2100 words today. The third act is under way. There was gun fire. There was a car chase. There was a mysterious footlocker. Fun stuff.

Kart Race - 1/8/2006

Went to the track today. On Sundays they run the Super Track which I haven't driven on in quite a while. I cut nearly three seconds off my previous best time. And this time I finished only one lap down to some of the best drivers around. Last time on this track I was four laps down to the leader.
