August 20th, 2007 at 2:46 pmDavid, you’re very welcome! Yep, all is well on my side, seem it’s all good on your side also :)
AgentSully, you’re welcome! I really like the “sitting in your car” part in your post, it’s so true.

August 20th, 2007 at 2:55 pmYep, all’s well with me too.
It’s festival time here in Edinburgh, so I’m making the most of all the great stand-up comedians who are in town.
August is a great time to visit if you ever get the chance.

August 20th, 2007 at 7:37 pmHey Jon,
A “learning break” … that’s a great idea. Our brains have a way of working on tough problems in the background while we’re consciously taking in new ideas or just chillin’ .

August 24th, 2007 at 12:42 amDavid, hey that’s nice, enjoy yourself. I’ll definitely stop by, I’d love to make a trip to Europe, opefully that’ll happen soon :)
Shane, totally, it’s always nice to take a break, everything seems to make more sense when you get back to work after.
Sully, same here, some people hate to wait for others, but I find this time really good for creativity, just bring a note pad, sit there, write, wait for the person. Got a lot of great ideas just “sitting in the car” :)
