Got half my chapter written today. 1800 words. Could have been more - I'd been hoping to finish the first draft in one fell swoop - but I was feeling rather ropey this afternoon and found it hard to focus. With any luck, I'll polish off this draft tomorrow and then can let it sit for a few days.

Also have come up with a proposal for Etech 2006, officially The Conference I Most Want To Speak At. Very pleased with it, which probably means it's shite.

Now have just a half dozen more things to do before I can collapse gratefully into bed.
