D-day -140 (-24)

I seem to have hit some form of ceiling here, where nothing measurable at all happens. And unfortunately I seem to have run out of ways of how to redefine how progress is measured. All I can give you now is therefore a public announcement to stay tuned next week for Exciting Updates on whether the ceiling will be broken or not. This weekend will be dedicated to non-Questing. I do, however, prefer to think of it as "time for reflection and contemplation", rather than "bugger this, I'll take the weekend off and go touristing Vienna and drinking sturm instead".

If you don't hear from me again by Monday, at the latest, it's most likely due to the crushing of capitalism and technocracy by the weekend's Occupy Wall Street manifestations. I reckon that would be an acceptable excuse reason to not finish the Thesis, right...?
