Endurance
I’ve been busy lately. Really busy. As in, 4.5 hours of sleep a night, scruffy beard (I’m incapable of growing a good one, unfortunately), edge of collapse, “didn’t I once have a weblog?” busy. You’ve seen Al Pacino in Insomnia or Homer Simpson at the Kwik-E-Mart in “Lisa’s Pony?” That’s literally how I’ve felt the past few days. I’ve been in a training course at work, and Friday morning my head came this close to hitting the desk in front of me—thank God I caught myself nodding off, or it would have been both embarassing and painful!
All of this has taught me an important lesson: human beings (at least this one) can not work 12-14 hours a day without eventually experiencing adverse effects. I need some downtime! I need to simply sit down and watch my Futurama DVDs or read Wired or go up to Amoeba Music or something! Is that so wrong?!?
No sir, I don’t think it is! And that’s why I’m beginning to make plans toward transitioning out of the PodWorks business. It’s been an amazing run, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the way version 2.5 (with its lovely new features, iPod 2.1 and Panther fixes, and completely rewritten, high-performance database parser) turned out, but software, like a shark, needs to move forward or die, and keeping up the momentum is going to be the death of me!
PodWorks users and (dare I say it!) fans needn’t worry, though. I’m not done quite yet, and if all goes according to plan, my baby will be very well taken care of in the future! More later…
