Minor Thoughts from me to you

So, hey, it's been more than 3 weeks since I last wrote anything over here. Time sure flies when you're having fun, don't it? And I have been having fun, never doubt that. I have several personalities trapped inside my skull. There's the wannabe theology wonk, the wannabe healthcare policy wonk, the system administrator, the programmer, the reader, the fantasy football freak, and the gadget freak. There are probably more, but I don't particularly feel like tracking them down right now.

So, three weeks ago the theology wonk was firmly in control. I was churning out the blog posts on theology, reading about theology, thinking about theology, and having a blast. So much so that I even ordered a biography of Calvin and picked up a copy of the Institutes to read through. I had planned (as much as I ever plan) to keep doing that for a couple more weeks.

Then, out of nowhere, the system administrator and the programmer ganged up on the theology wonk and sandbagged him. They've been running riot for the past two weeks. The system administrator got to play first. I've been tweaking the setup of my hosting account at Joyent optimizing the speed and efficiency of the whole thing. (If the blog at all feels faster, that's part of the reason why.) Then the programmer came out and I spent a ton of time rewriting some of my personal web apps, fixing bugs, and adding features. I've been going to bed after 11pm and waking up around 4am or 5am in order to squeeze in as much coding time as possible around my actual, paying, job.

That urge has slowly been dying down. I think the programmer and system administrator are ready to go back to sleep. The reader seems to be re-emerging, as I take more interest in both fiction and non-fiction again. I'll probably dive back into some of that theology reading that I have queued up.

It looks like I'll have a good 3 weeks to prepare before Adam returns to the blog. That's good. I'll need every minute of it. Maybe I'll even write a post or two before he returns, just to grease the wheels a bit.
