I am the duck.

swestrupConsider the duck. Calm placid and serene on top, legs churning like mad out of sight below the surface. Thats been me for the last month or so. I'm not sure how or why but I suddenly got motivated to start working on a bunch of projects that have been languishing. A large amount of what has been delaying me is the learning curves. Each of my projects requires me to learn yet-another-toolset that I don't already know, and for some reason I just couldn't get motivated.
Well, lately it seems that I am motivated. Not much visible has resulted, because mostly I'm working on things like learning the intricacies of CSS2 or PHP (both of which I 'know' well enough for some purposes, just not for the current projects). The current effort has mostly been expended on the Rexpolo site (which is why at any moment it may look like crap), but that's just a good excuse. Many of the features I'm working on will be used in the redesign of the pooq website (and so I shall soon be asking my fellow pooqists for content (and not necessarily in html format either), but not quite yet), and some will be used on a minor commercial project.
There is also finally movement on my <secret>major commercial project</secret>, which I hope to get to properly this month.
Now lets just hope this enthusiasm lasts! I am working hard to convince myself that my lack of productivity for most of the last 3 years was entirely due to being stressed out of my mind by 20 years in the work-a-day world, and it has simply taken me this long to recover.Time will tell.
