Isn't it unsettling that whenever you make the firm statement that you are going to do something that you were more-or-less already doing, it is then when it is more likely to stop?

It's something I have seen countless times in websites when they talk about their updates. And I am no exception.

To me, it is the feeling of being read that puts me off most. Plus simple and pure procrastination.

I'm pretty sure there must be a name for this, and it must be a well-known thing that every psychology student has seen from their first year.

Anyway, this is a possible comeback, and in any case let me talk about this very cool thing I've recently discovered: https://hypothes.is/. It is an extension for the main browsers that allows to annotate webs and pdfs, and share those annotations collaboratively. It has already many of the things that I wanted as a project to make web annotations. And it is free software.

Hypotes.is has many cool features, but for my interests it lacks the possibility of seeing the annotations in a more hierarchical/scored/transitively-interest-oriented way, so even with an immense amount of annotations per page one could easily see the main ones for her. Well, I can collaborate with them.

I'm in Denia, visiting my (mostly) charming nephews.

Denia is the place where I spent all my summers as a kid. I love this place. And if you see the picture, I'll have a hard time believing that you don't understand.

One of my silly dreams is to eventually come to live here, open a crossing between a pizza place and a bookshop. Probably with computer stuff around too, and games of all kinds.
