9:30 and I just fell asleep on the couch I didn't get to sleep until 5 AM this morning I was working with Some friends from work on a demo for a customer in France today. It was pretty fun people in France India and a couple of places in the US and Ireland all working together to make something happen. At 4 AM this morning things wernt working very well … but somehow by 6 AM everything came together. I understand the demo went really well.

It was so much fun writing code through the night for work. I was thinking about the last time I actually pulled an all night for work on something technical was in 1999. I remember it really well I was working with my friend Brian and my friend Vasant. I managed to talk to both of them today coincidently we all reminisced on the old days of working through the night.

That Doesn't mean I don't pull an allnighter occasionally. I'm guessing I run pretty close to an all nighter about once a month on some project or other usually it's not work-related. I had to almost all nighters just in January alone On the stamper thing . I do occasionally have to stay up pretty late for work as well, but it's usuallywriting or PowerPoint that is keeping me up then. I definitely enjoy doing it for making soething or coding.

There's something really special about that foggy hallucinatory state you get in as the sun starts to come up and the lines of code start to kind of move around on the page front of you. If you could just bottle that feeling….ahhhhhhh

Speaking of foggy hallucinatory states I am falling asleep on my feet I better get horizontal before I konk out More tomorrow.

Nite all, nite sam
