She's still ill, or at least sad. There doesn't seem to be anything we can do to cheer her up and the throat is still keeping her up. I haven't slept properly for a week now. She's generally better, but still not eating.

The last two days have been long work days, around 11 hours a day. Finally work is coming back up, I'm starting to get somewhere - but the lack of sleep is starting to make it hard to focus. Understand that I spend a lot of the night coding anyway, so it's not that unusual for me to get 4 hours sleep and be fine. Right now, it's just not even reaching that stage. Still, at least I've made some progress this week.

Now, home stuff is really suffering. I've done no game stuff since the weekend, apart from update the spec for the *big* game. Now I check the Slick forums, and while people seem to be using it theres a definite trend away - I guess thats to be expected given how long it's been going.

What I need is a little game to write now, tonight, to get me awake and alive again, but the lack of sleep just isn't letting me think of anything. Time to hack..

Don't worry about Slick or

Don't worry about Slick or the Java community, take care of your life and family. That's way more important than anything else.
Take a break, you've deserved it :)

It can't rain all the time

It can't rain all the time ... and after rainy days usually comes the sunshine back.

Don't worry about Slick too much Kevmeister. It's a great lib (Hey Nifty uses it - It must be great then :-)

I hope your wife gets better soon!

You are her rock dude! Take care and remember that rocks rock because they get some sleep from time to time.

All the best wishes Kev!

Kev means that our daughter is ill. Me being ill is hardly news these days, just part of life!!!!!
On the brighter side, Meg is now feeling a lot better and is slowly starting to brave food again. She's a tough cookie.

You need to stop coding

You need to stop coding before you go to bed. It has been proven that activities like that can cause sleeping disorders. Time management I can imagine you cant find much time while working to get your own personal stuff done. I'll try finding the link to the article... Anyway coding B.A.D before bed, bad kev.

Kev: It's also been proved that theres a certain point where you get so tired that your mind kicks into this super productive state. So, coding before bed bad, coding instead of going to bed (like me) good!
