Thanks. I thought I tried that, but I must have missed something. Oh well, I've bitten the bullet and upgraded. It found some good things, so I'll leave it unless something forces me to roll back.

A "bunch of projects" ... I learned to postpone them all and focus on one; which takes enough side trips as it is. Then there are herbs.

Take a break from programming, go for chop wood, whatever. After a few days the 'programming batteries' are recharged.
I'm aware it is hard, but I know from experience it helps

It's snowing hard and freezing outside. I am not chopping wood. We have a felled tree that needs cleared, but we are waiting for it to thaw some. I certainly wasn't going to at 2:30am.
I'm not really burnt out on programming. It was the hour that it was, is all.

Sorry for this now:
Trust an old man, I also always had excuses not to change my life
The hours will sum up again and again.
Only my view of the things.
Wish you all the best.

I get that. 2:45 AM, can't sleep, wife kicks me out of bed for waking her up. So I go lay on couch with cup of tea and listen to some random podcast for half an hour
Thar's only two possibilities: Thar is life out there in the universe which is smarter than we are, or we're the most intelligent life in the universe. Either way, it's a mighty sobering thought. (Porkypine - via Walt Kelly)

Never thought I would, but there are some very esoteric, different and just plain weird ones out there. Plus, some of the TED talks can really get you thinking - NOT what you want at 3AM however

Correct. You want the ones that you know are going to bore you but are still in your list anyways.

I always have a book to read when the 3am loo break wakes me. Even a good book allws me to read for a while before sleep intervenes. A boring book (software manuals fall into that category) have an almost instant reaction. I suspect that may not be the case with you.

That was me just waking up though. Not looking to go back to sleep right away, as it's not really doable for me anyway in that situation - maybe after being up for a few hours first. ironically, coffee seems to help with that sometimes.

A weighty subject, indeed.

On a scale from 1-10, how weighty is it?
Or is it just massive...

Thought I would give a slow cooker as a christmas present to my uncle, but he did not want it:
"I'm too impatient for that" he answered.
It seems I'm the only slow cooker enthousiast in the family ...

Come on, when people are reticent like that... you have to take it slow!

Chuck a beef stew in there and let him see how little effort it takes to produce a lot of good food: that may help convince him.
They are also great for chucking a gammon joint into and having "sandwich filler" on tap for lunches.
I think I'm on my fourth now ...

Fourth gammon or slow cooker?
