you are truly a driven personality in a positive way.
I wish I could accomplish 1/10th of what you done for CP.
Don't lose that, but learn to pace yourself.
I know its "Easier said than done", but it can sometimes saves time.
old saying "haste makes waste" comes to mind.
but you already know these things.

I wasn't *actually* sleep deprived but it was easier to say that than to explain. I had time because not much work, and I like to keep occupied.
But, even not sleep deprived I'm sure you know what's it like to hit the bricks on an ambitious personal project for days on end. At the end of it, it's gratifying but you feel a little lost, you know? Like "what just happened? I don't remember building ALL of this, but there it is") - like that.
By the fourth day i was a little loopy.

Been there, done that. In grad school, I would sleep on foam rubber pallet in the corner of the computer lab so I wouldn't have to make the drive home and then back again. This could on for 2-3 days, a week, until a goal was reached. "loopy" is a good description. The next day it's all in the past.
I remember visiting this code several years later, "what the hell was I thinking".
We didn't have a work remotely option in those days. Only slow baud rate modem stuff.

Waterfall meant you had an overall plan (high level design); then did incremental development (detail design and programing) of "deliverables" (critical path).
Agile is incremental development without a plan. Lots of huddles and no play book.

Over here we are not very agile either, especially my colleague who has to do low-level video stuff in C++.
It might work for other IT branches that are more "standard" however.

Agile was invented by project managers for project managers. It does not aid in the development process, just shows how much better or worse developers can guess at how much they can accomplish in a sprint.

I believe that you may mean Agile Scrum. Scrum is the thing that adds all that management stuff on top.
When I think of Agile, I think only of the original 12 Principles[^] (and they are quite good).
But, of course, no one could sell that one sheet of paper as an Enterprise Methodology so everyone piled on and added on so they could sell you a book for $49.99 and a certification for $3500.
I recently posted a really good conversation about Agile between Allen Holub & Dave Farley who state: Agile & Scrum[^] don’t work.
It’s long but definitely worth a listen.

Possibly. My perception is that the world in general means Agile Scrum when they just say Agile.
The majority of the 12 Principles of Agile apply to any software development methodology. A few of the Agile-specific principles, e.g., "Deliver working software frequently", do not work well with certain types of software being developed, and/or do not apply to the first piece of working application.

Or it could be some junior punks who haven't the ability to act against the big sites. "It's a nice website you have here, Mr. Maunder. Would be a shame if something were to happen to it." 
Or CP could be incidental damage of a DDoS attack on a site that shares the same infrastructure.

Interesting, because I have to use my mobile connection to get to the site now.
I am guessing that my ISP, or part of its IP range, may now be blocked due to the DDOS.
Or was it me #awkward?

Yep. I hear that someone put a little THC in the hamsters' water dispensers and they ran amok, chewing up the cables running between the Raspberry Pi servers in the basement. They're too fast to catch, so Chris had to wait until they took a nap to round them up.
