			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to apologize if I&#8217;ve been anti-social or out of touch for a while. I&#8217;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&#8217;ve ignored emails or generally been aloof it&#8217;s really shouldn&#8217;t be taken personally. It&#8217;s probably quite unhealthy to be totally immersed in work, but it was required for a time.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m now coming down and trying to adjust to the idea of becoming human again. I&#8217;ve learnt and experienced a massive amount, but it&#8217;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.</p>
<p>I started out with massive enthusiasm and great intentions, but if you&#8217;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&#8217;ve started to defrost then these will all return quite naturally.</p>
<p>Anyway, enough self-pity. To kick-start my rebirth I&#8217;ve set up Vista on a shiny new MacBook. Apparantly this either means I&#8217;m gay or a girl, but that&#8217;s ok.</p>
