I wanted to apologize if I’ve been anti-social or out of touch for a while. I’m coming to the end of a long, all-consuming project that required putting my life in the freezer until I came out the other side. Therefore if I’ve ignored emails or generally been aloof it’s really shouldn’t be taken personally. It’s probably quite unhealthy to be totally immersed in work, but it was required for a time.
I’m now coming down and trying to adjust to the idea of becoming human again. I’ve learnt and experienced a massive amount, but it’s also taken quite a lot out of me, and I think it will be a little while before I can properly focus on moving on to something new.
I started out with massive enthusiasm and great intentions, but if you’re under pressure for a prolonged time then gradually all of the non-essential things start to drop away, until eventually this includes learning, passion, curiosity, friendships etc. I think once I’ve started to defrost then these will all return quite naturally.
Anyway, enough self-pity. To kick-start my rebirth I’ve set up Vista on a shiny new MacBook. Apparantly this either means I’m gay or a girl, but that’s ok.
