Failure

I am writing this failure from the future – spooky! I was away on holiday for the month following this post. My original plan was to keep writing while I was away, but a few things conspired to make that difficult: I was still getting myself sorted out from my previous failure, and my preparation for leaving took up time that I would normally use for fixing it. The ultimate outcome was that I was still behind when I got on the plane, and I couldn't really get around to sorting everything out until I got home.

I did keep writing, just not publishing, and so I have a backlog of a month's worth of travel posts to put up. Rather than drop them all at once, I'll be releasing them in blocks of 5 each day starting tomorrow so that they're not impossible to follow for anyone who'd care to. At that rate, I should be back to real-time by next week.

Clearly, my concerns about this oscillating pattern of failing and catching up are starting to look pretty well founded. I have a plan to fix it that will probably take a couple months to sort out, but more on that later.
