I haven't been around much, have I? Lots of stuff's been happening. I graduated with my M.A. a few weeks ago, and now have to plan on what to do for Ph.D studies in the fall; I just upgraded my computer a week ago, and have been doing a lot of work getting it up to speed; I have a new job entertaining/tutoring kids for the summer, which is fun but exhausting.
The good news is that I now have ten pages of a new article written, and with any luck I can finish the thing in the next few weeks (I won't say what it is yet, since the last time I did that it ended up jinxing me). The tough part this time is the structure: it's like a circle (or a spiral) going past the same bits with different results, and that makes it tough to work out exactly how to put things down. In any case, I don't consider this practice writing like I did my previous articles - this is philosophically serious, as much so as anything I've done recently. There's also, of course, the ever-present question of whether anyone around theO nowadays will be remotely interested in an article like this, but I guess it's no use worrying about that.
Sorry for the short and uneventful post. I make up for it with IOSYS and Miyazaki grannies:
