A lost week

Published by dchud on October 20th, 2006

Although Art clearly took a bullet for me (page forward to the "Taking The Bullet" award), Access definitely took its toll. I've not had much stamina - particularly for the combination of travel and public speaking and coding and socializing and PENNANT-WINNING unique to Access conferences - since my illness, which some of you know well. (Ross: point of information, it's "delicate bloom".) So it takes me a while to recover from a busy trip, and I'm not recovered yet from this one.

Art's heroic illness-absconding notwithstanding, this has been about the least productive work week I've had all year, and I blame it on Access Exhaustion. I've been down for the count with only feeble progress on anything, paid or no. For those this might be frustrating, I'm sorry, and I expect to be back at full speed next week.

Dan, you have nothing to apologize for... you co-ordinated HackFest, gave umpteen presentations, pumped out a Library Geeks podcast, and god knows what else during Access. You were productive enough for that week that you deserve to kick back for two more weeks.

BTW, I listened to most of the Library Geeks podcasts on my train ride back from Toronto, and all I have to say is "awesome"! You do an excellent job as an interlocutor in both contributing to the conversation and in drawing out details that your guests might not otherwise divulge (either due to over-familiarity with the complex subject matter, or sheer embarrassment).

...the people who pay me who didn't see me much last week. :)

Thanks for the kind words, and it was great to meet you!
