Still Here

Hey, it’s been a while. I’m still here.

It just turns out that even though I do enjoy tending to this little corner of the internet which I’ve decided is mine, writing up a PhD really tires you out. Especially so in terms of wanting to write any text at all ever again.

So I’ve been a bit burnt out in terms of writing, to put it mildly. Here is my GitHub heatmap for the past ~12 months:

7x50 grid showing increasingly intense activity until end September 2024, after which there is no activity until late February 2025

Any chance you can spot when my thesis was submitted? ^^;;

But I’m slowly getting back into things. This tiny update is partly to reflect that – that I am still here, I haven’t forgotten about my website, and I’m slowly but surely getting back into writing blog posts – and partly just to get something out there so that I get back into the rhythm. I’ve got a couple of vague project ideas already, there’s a whole textbook-like series I would like to do (but currently ENOTIME), and I would really like to finish up the “Writing up a PhD” post/journal, so it is not as if I’m lacking for writing ideas.

For now though, this is all I’ve got. Thanks for still following this site (or just stopping by), I hope you are doing okay, whomever you are; I’m beginning to get there.

Thanks for reading, see you in the next post : )
