Thomas Edison once said that "Invention is 1% of inspiration and 99% of transpiration" and I cannot agree more wholeheartedly. There are a lot of ideas lying around, half finished (most often even only half started) projects takes up space and mental effort. I have about half-a-dozen software projects in semi-started phase, three crafting projects, that are not household related, lies in the basement. Two are started, one has to be done by mid-august. It feels that I haven't got enough time for my projects. There several reasons for this, and the solution is planning and, you know, so called transpiration.
The latest and perhaps most important is to finish my thesis report. It is long overdue but is starting to look finished. The most troublesome part right now is to declare the sources for various information. How do you credit a mailing list or a website that might have been updated since you last visited it? This is no small issue in the world of software design. I cannot request the Internet Archive to crawl every page I may have to reference in some document weeks or even months later. Not only does that hinder in my development, it may also be so that the crawler won't get there in time to cache the information.
Should I have to save the pages myself then? How about reliability of information. If I remove this post after someone saves it for reference, then I, or anyone else, can claim that the information is false, that I never wrote what I did or that I wrote something entirely else.
That's all my thoughts for tonight. See ya!
Yäy! First comment!
