To sleep... Very tired... Lately I have been working from 9am to 11pm or 12pm. My life here is just so... Errmmm... I have no words to describe but perhaps I am the most difficult person to work with. I have high expectation on my staff and on myself. Anyway. Dun really want to talk about work today.

There are and will be some great changes in eyal's and mine life. But at least I am glad he found something he enjoy doing. On another note. One of my best friend message me today asking me if I knew how many child has she got. From my knowledge, she only has two kids... Which is why she surprise me that much when she told me that she have three kids already... And worst thing of all, she is of my age... I think she would want the fourth... I think its kinda scary... To get tied down at this age...

This is more of a question to the people who read this (if any) rather then an opinion. Open source success attributes to collaborative software development. Lets face it no one in this world does anything without getting something out of it.
The returns might be moral or commercial but what I need to understand is what is about collaborative software development that make people contribute? What are the returns? Is it satisfaction? Is it fame? Why do people contribute? Take time out? Do they get paid? I have some interesting ideas advert to collaborative learning and data mining and pattern recognition but I can only write more if I get answers to these questions. Hoping people read and comment!

Wow, it has been a while since I last entered something; time sure fly's! And because it is late, this will be a very brief entry.
Although we had 4 days off from work for the holiday, it sure only felt like a regular weekend. Bummer. But I got more done than the regular weekend. We were 'released' early from work on Wednesday, so we headed to the local theatre and saw the latest Harry Potter flick. We both enjoyed this very much (better than the first in our opinion). Thursday was Thanksgiving and even though our original plans were changed, we had a very relaxing day at home sitting by the fire and watching movies. Friday I headed to the 'rents and had a relaxing weekend taking it easy. Thinking I was getting an early start on Sunday heading home, the traffic on I-5 was terrible. It took me 5 hours to get home, when usually I can do it in just over 4. I know it could have been worse, but for me, that was bad enough. So here it is, late Sunday night and back to the old grind tomorrow. More later... 

I met with some old High School teachers today. It felt a lot longer than it really took. I don't know what I really expected out of all of this, other than to simply show them that with a little of their help I turned out all right. I might go in next week and speak with one of the classes. The rest of the day went by pretty slowly. There weren't many jobs to apply to, so I spent a lot of time listening to music and working on the site. I feel a bit annoyed with the entire day really. It's one of those "I wish I could turn time back and do something" kind of days. I think I'd still screw it up. I'm still missing the weekend gang, which is odd since they weren't really here that long. I definitely feel the routine trucking along nicely now. I need to stop feeling so damn empty inside. Slowly but surely, right?
