M.I.A.
As you may (or may not) have noticed, I haven’t had much time for updates lately. For the past two weeks I’ve been working day and night on a viral site for Panasonic that launches Tuesday, taking breaks to watch my beloved Buffalo Sabres eventually get eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs at the hands of the Ottawa Senators.
Needless to say, I’ve had better weeks.
I can’t begin to describe the disappointment and frustration I’m once again feeling as a Buffalo fan. There is too much to say and I have no time to say it (so I’ll let my friends over at Common Sense Dancing say it for me). The reality of having to wait until next year still hasn’t set in. My mind is currently lost in the thousands of lines of arrays, loops and functions I’ve been staring at for 14 hours a day. I have nightmares in which I’m debugging and refactoring the code I spent the day writing— waking up in a cold sweat when I find a bug and effectively depriving myself of the sleep I need to do the same work consciously. For those of you who program software for a living, I’m sure you have similar stories of deadline delirium. For those who don’t, you probably think I’m crazy.
Either way, Tuesday can’t come soon enough. I’ll talk to you then.

Sounds sort of like the movie Pi, which isn’t a good thing (though the movie itself was good.) I hope the launch of the website goes well!

Thanks Terry. It’s actually very much like Pi. You can’t stop your unconscious from trying to process and make sense of all the data stuck in your head.
