I really, really, really need to be writing Chapter 2 of my book about blogging, because I’m presenting parts of it on Tuesday and Friday this week. Instead, I made a tag cloud of what I’ve written so far.
That sort of counts as writing, right?
OK. That’s enough. Go and actually do it.

I’m in Australia! Hooray! My mum and dad and sister and I moved from Perth to Bergen when I was a kid, and ever since I’ve loved two homes: Australia and Norway. Walking off the plane last night and breathing in the scent of eucalyptus in the warm night air […]
That’s almost the title of a paper I read today, Do Multilingual LLMs Think In English?, which uses several methods to poke into what a language model actually does when responding to a prompt in a language other than English. Spoiler: it looks as though it goes via English even […]

Procrastinating is so useful, I do lots of work on projects which do not have an immediate deadline, or begin new ones… and if you manage to shape up and do everything in the last minute, you find you’ve met your deadline and done lots of other things as well. So for some people it’s another name for dynamism and restlessness.

Well, yesterday’s post on PayPerPost was in a sense procrastinating – it wasn’t what I’d been planning to do – but then again it’s super-relevant for another chapter in my blog book that I wasn’t planning to write for a while, so it’s definitely useful work…
But you know, if I’d not written it, maybe I would have finished planning all the presentations I’m giving this week….
