Tales updates

Yes, it's almost 2am (again) this week, but I have done the basic outline of a script for Chapter 5, and done three webcomic pages for Tales of the Galli (to be published over the week) so I'm happy. Time for bed however - university tomorrow!

undead media (again)

And there I was trying to find a "We don't need no fascist groove thing"  when I found this!

Late to uni today

I decided to leave late for university today. Partly this was to finish up on stuff not yet done from the weekend: I tied the garden a bit, updated three webcomic pages retrospectively (changing speech balloons), and checked on a whole bunch of stuff. But also, I've been thinking (always dangerous).
When I was writing my morning pages I realised that for my HOUSEWORK and ART-PLAY days on the weekend, I'd made a list of the tasks that had to be done, but for ART-WORK days (at the university) last week I hadn't.The result was I got very distracted, got on the web and did the sort of stuff i did this morning, only in "uni time". That, and the fact that i didn't have a task list meant that i was getting frustrated each day, because I had a general feeling of underachievement. It's all very well going to Spectrum and Post-Grad meetings, but in fact I only got about 3 hours of "stuff" done last week that was directly related to my Masters.
I've got to improve on that. So, what I need to do is perhaps:

• Make a task list of the tasks that need to be done for the week (note, not day);
• Not check the net / read graphic novels et cetera, until some progress is made on those tasks each day.

Why Why not have a daily task list? My reasoning is that at this stage, the sort of thing I have to do is twofold:

1. Review my source journals for Real Life Trips, and read them with an editor's eye, storyboarding and blocking them for the graphic novel; and
2. Completely new look at the structure of Gender Transition for Innocents with the specific needs of what sources I need for what I want to say.

That's all a bit "fuzzy", so I need to break it down to smaller, simpler tasks that I can tick off or not. Strangely enough, this was something I learned on my Library Science course, way back in 2003-2004. I got good value for money on that course! About time I put it to good use. I'm seeing mysupervisor tomorrow, so I shall bounce this off him.

On a related note, I'm up to chapter 11 of Artist's Way, and still haven't done the exercises (it's day 5)! Tomorrow I might take the workbook in with me, and when I hit a block in the research/reviewing, I'll swap to that for a short while.

Sound reasonable?

Briadband Annoyances

Something is stuffing up my broadband connection on my Study PC.

Web Pages (especially Live Journal and Facebook) seem to take forever to load. Youtube videos pause at about a 1:30 minutes in, and my net radios keep cutting out for an equivalent amount of time. Very frustrating.

But no such problems on the Lounge-room PC. About the only differences I can find are the Anti-Virus and Firewall software. Oh, and the Study PC is a 64bit machine, but that never stuffed it around before.

Must spend time to resume service. Suggestions anyone?
