I have submitted my "Scanning the Environment" assignment today.    It took a LOT more time than what I estimated it would take in the offset of the assignment.    To quote myself "...It surely cannot take THAT long to read a few articles, select a few interesting ones and then write a small editorial....."    I was wrong with this one.  :)

In the end it was a very good assignment to complete and I learned a lot.    I enjoyed it so much that I am actually contemplating writing one every 3+ months.    It would then also serve as a record for myself on the most interesting articles that crossed my virtual desk.   

The next assignment needs to be complete in +- 2 months and it is going to be a challenge as well.    It will cover a "surprise free prognosis for Tanzania".     I also need to spend some time researching free alternatives for plagiarism checkers.

Well that is surely going to be another topic.  :)
