I know. That's whom I was talking about. I hoped that Jeff wasn't kidding.  :)


>it's 4 a.m. where he is, and he has a day job

Do that long enough and you'll screw yourself into the ground. 18 hour days 
are neither sustainable nor they make people more productive. That it works 
is a popular management myth. People working 18 hour days actually work at 
30-40% efficiency, so no more work gets done.

Jeff, get some sleep, buddy. Don't kill yourself, especially with a kid to 
look after. I used to work insane hours till I realised that I was working 
late nights only because I couldn't get any work done in the day (thanks to 
"management"). Life's too short.

My favourite song for techies - "Vienna" by Billy Joel. Listen to the 
excellent lyrics :))

I've clearly rambled too long.
