Thanksgiving

I never really did anything deeper than write down tasks I could do and some how-to links for different professions.

On another note, a housemate let me borrow a fan, since my old fan is in one of the bins somewhere far back.

In a way it is. However, I like to brainstorm ideas by putting two words together and trying to connect them. There are WordNet interfaces that do just that, using a thesaurus-based vocabulary with their own lexical relations. Some of the concepts I would like to explore, however, are closer to using a definition-based vocabulary.

So I wanted to mix definitions of different archetypes with other concepts. That is, if I mix 'trickster' with 'sibling', what would come to mind?

I imagine I will be adding links or at least text I got somewhere else to this.

I will need to remove "From Jesus with Love" since I am out of touch with collaborator and haven't done anything new.

"A Little Death"? Well, I have no idea if I want to continue with that. I haven't touched it in years, I lost interest, and I feel bad that I did not want to incorporate the changes the illustrator said were necessary. I like to think I am adaptable, so I feel bad about it. At the same time, it is not just my work.

Birch Circle is still stalled, but in my head.

Then there is the 'self for employers/clients' and 'self for friends' split. I do not want to make anyone a target for lawsuits or make them feel uncomfortable. Some of what I did and what I link to is NSFW, and others are just not 'serious' enough for business. Yet, I did put effort and time in them, and can I say it, I am proud. I am proud of my original fiction as I am about the crackfic, and as proud of my fiction as well as my classes in natural language processing.

Oh, and add classwork from the natural language processing course. Not sure about the programs, though. They just don't run, and I have no idea if it will do terrible things to computer systems if they do run. Not because I put logic bombs deliberately, but because of Murphy's Law.

I also have a rant on why Murphy's Law is why the humanities are valuable for scientists, programmers and engineers to learn. Mathematicians are exempt, since their field is that ancient. :)

OK, so inspired by this site, I will post ideas that I still have not worked on in public sites. I will reprint it in my LinkedIn account (within reason) along with what I already have set public posts to do.
