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 :-)
