Dec. 5, 2005 - Tan, rested and ready

I just got back from a week in the Maldives.  9 acres of palm trees surrounded by coral reefs teaming with fish and great food can do wonders for your outlook.  I thought for about ten seconds about trying to turn that experience into some kind of allegory for software and then realized what a ridiculous idea that would be.  Some laughable notion about keeping one's life balanced between work and family, maybe something about juggling glass balls or perhaps the sea as opportunity and the island safety, anyway I snapped out of it when I remembered that all the work I didn't do in the last week I now get to do this week PLUS the work I would have had to do this week anyway. 

So it's back to the same thing I do every night: trying to take over the world.  Oh, wait, wrong blog, it's back to the task of helping make the world a better place for software... Yeah, that's it.
