It seems like I disappeared off the face of the Earth for the last couple of months: I totally dropped the ball on a bunch of my responsibilities and it's felt like I've been in a major time crunch, but I can't really explain why. I'm used to extending out to 90+ hour weeks and being spread way too thin but a confluence of circumstances has made it worse than normal since about March. I've missed a lot of Linux Australia teleconfs, I've been far too passive and disconnected from things going on in the organisation, and many other areas of my life have been suffering too.
Thankfully some of the crunch factors are now history: CeBIT is over, Ubuntu Hacks is now a real live book, and a couple of projects at IVT have progressed to less stressful stages.
It's not time to relax just yet though. I'm off to the US in a few weeks to do two presentations at OSCON and there's lots to do in the meantime.
