Possessed

These last two weeks I have been positively possessed by a new programming library called Node. Seriously, I can' t remember the last time I have been obsessed like this. I can't stop thinking about it. I don't want to eat. I don't want to sleep. I don't want to exercise. I have trouble working during the day. I have trouble not just sitting in front of my computer following/thinking about/programming with server side javascript.

You think I am kidding? I was up till 4AM last night programming with it. I am subscribed to the mailing list. I log into the IRC chat room and follow the discussion during the day.

And I'm not the only one! Look at this chart of the mailing list subscriptions over the last year (I joined on the 14th). Node is taking the WORLD community by storm!

And I am obsessed. And loving every minute of it.

So far, I have started two projects.

So, sorry if I have dropped off the face of the earth recently. I can't be bothered to have real relationships when there is coding to do!

    Please pay a little attention to your fiancee--it is still not too late for her to back out. :)

    I agree! (about the pay attention to me, part. not the backing out part!)
