What's up Raible?

Paul Rivers wrote a comment about yesterday's post; guessing as to why I haven't been posting much lately. There are two reasons. The first is that I firmly believe that blogging is motivated by broadband and I don't have it. Secondly, I'm on vacation. The worst part is that I'm on vacation and I've been working the whole fricken time! My parents are in town and no one has to work but me. Do I really have to work? Probably not, but one of my clients wants a re-design done by Monday - and I've known about it for a month. So I put it off and put it off, and now the deadline is here - and it's not going nearly as fast or smooth as I though it would. The major motivation for the re-design is to make the webapp work in older browsers, namely Opera 6/Linux and IE 5.5/Windows. So just as I get it working in one, it breaks in the next. I'm learning way more about Opera than I ever wanted to know. It's no fun, I want to give up and quit - but something inside me still drives me to work away and neglect my vacation. This sucks...

I read your blog pretty regularly, as you seem to often find and share interesting and useful nuggets of technical information and knowledge. However, my impression has always been that this blogging business takes one's precious time, and even if you post only 2-3 items a day, it interrupts your day unnecessarily (there was an interesting article/paper on this topic in circulation recently...about interruptions of email, which sounds very similar to interruptions of blogging). Interruptions are good, but it is better if they are of a different nature (e.g. code for 3 hours, go swim or take a walk or ride a bike for 30 minutes or go talk to your woman or man or ...) Hm, here I am, spending time on something I don't need to spending it on. Going home to see my woman and a friend and watch a film or go to a Georgian restaurant or...
