day 13

After a few days offline in the middle of snowy nowhere. I have read the entire work and begun the serious process of editing. Today I have now edited a little more than half the book. I am on the 53rd version of my document and I am becoming more paranoid about data-loss for each day and version. Lots of backups now.

I thought that the backups would make the work shorter but I was wrong. Today the word count is 91856 words which is an increase by 1502 words since the last time I opened the file.

Even though there are still 13 more days to go I hand everything over to my supervisor tommorrow for him to read while he is travelling. On his return I have the weekend to edit his comments before handing it all in to the internal reviewer who will be my opponent on the senior seminar on the 15 March.
The reading tip of the day is specialist stuff – Blanke “Robust Notice” and “Informed Consent”: The Keys to Successful Spyware Legislation, Columbia Science and Technology Law Review 2006 Vol 7.

A long time ago I had to wear a school uniform with this badge… never would have guessed where I ended up…
