Finally, after a year in the making (some hundred days of procastinating and 1 day of actually doing it), I have a blog! The reason I eventually got around to setting one up is because I suddenly needed one. I'm a Google Summer of Code student this summer, and students are encouraged to blog about their project. It's a good idea, and I'll try to blog frequently to let people follow along as I work on my Icon module project. I want to make it easy for people to help out with feedback and opinions – one man shows are not my thing :)
The reason it took about two weeks from being accepted as a GSoC student to setting up this blog is because I was finishing up an older project. Now my desktop is cleared (only metaphorically speaking so far - I'll get to that), and I'm ready to start working on this cool project!
