I know I told you I’m not going to give you another book update, but I lied.

I have edited 142 of 193 pages. Once this is in book format, I’m guessing it will be around 125 pages. Here is how the chapters are looking:

Introduction 1
Pre-game 5
Internal Game 7
Early Game 19
Middle Game 104
Late Game 142
End Game 168
Appendix 171

If you are wondering why early game is so big, I’m going to guess you are a girl. Early game is, by far, the hardest part of game. The next two weeks may be slow as I wrap up the editing process.

Today is my last day of work (for a long time, I hope). In the next week or so I’m going to talk about what I will be doing for the next year or two, why I’m doing it, and what I had to do to get here.

Some site news: I’m rolling in advertisements, similar to what you see on DCB (example page). I’ll try not to make them too annoying. There are also text link ads on the right which have been up for a month now.

I leave you with this graphic. It shows the life cycle of comments to a typical blog post.

Comment no. 5: Devolve into irrelevant threads
Comment no. 9: Impugn character of thesis author

I always find it interesting how just one comment can hijack a thread and take it down a strange path.
