• The Thesis Log

    Monkeyblah has a new section, which may not be all that interesting to most of you. As some of you know, I am currently writing my Master's thesis in computer science at Chalmers University of Technology, on the topic of Computer-generated video game narratives.

    Well, as it turns out, my discipline isn't the greatest in the world, a woe well-known to anyone who's been a student for any length of time. Work is simply not getting done at the pace I need it to. Taking a cue from my good friend Jolle, I've decided to keep a log of my daily activities on the thesis, and that's what the new section is for. In reality, it's just a listing of posts bearing the thesis-log tag, but it's good enough. Posts bearing this tag are not shown on the front page or in date listings; you have to look for the tag specifically to see any such entries.

    The purpose of this log is twofold; for one, to document my work, but more importantly to keep me motivated. Public visibility and accountability makes for a powerful motivator. For the rest of you, hey, maybe it'll interest some of you.

    Edit: Here's the first entry, for today.
