It's like chocolate

You can't just blog once ... go on, have another.

Despite arranging to take another day off work during the week to cope with the courseworkload, I'm still working on tomorrow's submission.  Had another mad moment on Tuesday (freedom day!!!) when I tried to check / regrade my paths for Calverley Grounds.  Despite trying all the usual tactics of doing something else or actually rereading my notes(!), for some reason I just couldn't work out how to begin.

Foolishly, failed to contact anyone until the evening (thanks again Grant - such a simple, straightforward ... yes, logical approach) and wasted a lot of the day.  Seem to have spent an awful lot of the week twiddling about with the circulation and having messed up with Sketchup (how is that possible?) am now struggling with the sequence sketches.  I'm also having incredible difficulty getting my plan past a very diagrammatic / conceptual look.  I know, roughly, what it is that I want to achieve but am finding it hard to put it down on paper / Photoshop / whatever.  Consequently, I'm just going to go with what I've done, just for the sake of having something to pin up on the wall.  Hopefully.  Still need to print and as last time I tried to print at uni it failed - presumably 'cos the file size was too big - I'm trekking into work tomorrow and plotting out there.  Unfortunately it's not the most convenient location but fingers crossed for the traffic.  On a Monday morning after half term.  Hmm ... optimistic.

Things weren't helped yesterday by the discovery that my highest-capacity memory stick (the one with the important files on) is infected with a trojan.  One that attacked my PC at work on Thursday/Friday and then spread to the network.  Oops.  Apparently that's now fixed (cheers Sanjay) but unfortunately, despite two hours of chat with Symantec and much downloading/updating of antivirus, etc software the memory stick still appears to be infected ... or at least suffering from post-traumatic stress.  Out of sheer desperation, copied two files over onto my PC last night (too much work to redo) and now it's definitely a case of 'fingers crossed'.  Oh well, back to it ...
