I have a feeling that many engineers who rely on working on projects on their own time a) estimate relatively accurately the length of time before something will happen b) but inaccurately assume that the duration relates to absolute time :-) Since it's quite late here I'll indulge myself by explaining a touch. If I have an average of 8 hours per week available for coding on my own time (say), and "I'll do that in 2 weeks" means "I'll do that in 7*24*2 hours time - 336 hours time". However, factoring in that 8 hours passes for every 168 hours of real time, means that actually it's (168/8)*336 - which is 7056 hours of real time. That's actually approximately 42 weeks. Considering this thread actually started roundabout in April, 42 weeks added onto that is Jan/Feb next year, so I wouldn't worry too much about what 2 weeks is here :-) More seriously, I understand what it's like when work & personal life go into overdrive & glad to hear that you're still planning on this - as usual, if you need anything from me to help, let me know :-) Regards, Michael. (he says wondering what the metric is here - maybe we should measure things in tuits :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "kamaelia" group.
