Actually, in retrospect, the post / advice above is only valid for some situations, I will post a follow-up. After I get some of the posting groove back, I will post about all my projects. Short-version: all of them are and have been advancing, albeit at a slow pace. I hope to fix that, at least partly, in 2009 -- difficult times require more work!! Tim, thanks for the kind comment.

Gavin, I wouldn't dare give you advice on that! Maybe the post should have been a bit more tongue-in-cheek, as, indeed, working like crazy *sometimes* works. It used to work for me when I was 25, but not now that I'm 35. My health suffers too, stress is terribly taxing on your mind and body. I need much more focus now. I also need to exercise almost daily, etc... I guess I need to pick my battles now. Anyway, I wanted a nicer way to break a too long blogging break.

Every time I try to do more and faster, I end up messing up things (can't get work done, frustrated and irritated). I am taking things slowly now. I am enjoying every moment. The best part is that I can see work get completed quickly without much force. So true.
