Apologies for the lack of regular updates these days.

My excuse (and I'm sticking to it) is that work has been very stressful lately. There were a bunch of demos we had to give for products that didn't yet exist, so we have been working pretty hard to create something that we could show off at those demos.

Then of course we had to work hard to make stuff that is actually good out of the cobbled-together mess we created in our hurry to get ready for the demos. Meeting the deadlines involved a lot of cut corners and truly awful code-writing, which must now be fixed.

As a result, outside of work I've been feeling drained and uncreative, and have had little energy left for blogging.

For instance: it occurred to me at the time that I could write about Scooter Libby's sentence being commuted by the president, but by the time I had enough energy to write about it, that was a week later.

Or maybe I was just at a total loss for words about that whole thing. It was probably one or both of those.

Anyway, stuff at work is slowing down, so hopefully I will now have both time and inclination. Stay tuned.
