I don’t understand myself at times
I told a friend yesterday that I had a blog, but for some reason held back on giving her the URL. I’m trying to figure out why. There’s nothing here I haven’t told her — she knows far more about, say, my feelings of Not Good Enough than I’ve posted here. I have not shared all the details of my paper on Tagalog, but that’s not due to any shame in it.
I think it might be because this is so inane. It’s not hard to find me — a search for linguistics+ blog would, I think, pull this up. I believe I’m linked to some of the blogs I’ve sent her links to. And my email address would also be instantly recognisable. Plus the pictures of my cats. (If you’ve decided to procrastinate by finding me: hi!)
I can’t quite figure out why I’m not giving her the link. Probably I will. And then remove this post because it’s too meta. That’s such an irritating but useful term.
I’ve written the introduction to my learnability paper and the description of my algorithm. I’m partway through the proof it works. Then I need to go through the implementation and explain why it’s better than the alternate one. Then I write my conclusion and my appendix. It’s coming: I might well be able to finish it today. Even with the fajitas.
