Well, as fast as my wheels were turning for the past few weeks, I’ve decided to slow down for the holiday season and spend some time with the family.

To me, there is nothing better than _quality_ time with family – big emphasis on “quality” because when I’m in work mode, I’m always half thinking about work even when I’m sitting on the couch watching TV.

For me, now is the time to not think about work and spend time with, and think about what I’m really working for. This is also a good time to reflect on my goals for next year.

Ok, I know, I’ve been slack.. It’s been several months since my last post and that last one was a tip on how to fix gnome keyring. Now based on how I’ve been on twitter and lack of activity on this blog, I guess you could say that I’ve not been doing anything at all or doing too much.

Well, it’s a mixture of both really, I really, _really_ want to make a post, but then become too busy. Once I’ve finished what I was doing (after several days), I just want to not do anything.

Anyway, those days are no more, I’m creating a new category called “Live coding notes” and it will be notes that I’ve made (I have tons of them on my desk and on gnote) regarding several things I’ve had to do, things I got stuck on, had to mess around with while coding and how I resolve or change my solution.

I’m on Holiday at the moment and loving every minute of it! During the Weekend, I’ve decided to add a little something to my blog and installed a new feature which somewhat gives back to those who comment on my blog. I’ve added the Top Commentators feature which lists the top 10 people who have commented on posts within my blog throughout it’s existance. At the moment, I’ve got laserlight with 11 comments.
