Okay guys.
Self imposed ban time.
So I will be leaving forums in general as of about this Thursday. I thought I'd do the courtesy of a goodbye a few days before rather than just dropping off of the map - this is by far the best forum I'm on, the one I'm most active/invested in, and the one with the best people. So it seems like the right thing to do. idk.

This is something I have been thinking about/meaning to do/putting off doing for a few weeks now. But today I decided it's kind of necessary.
Recently I've decided to start working on setting up a project outside of my everyday job (though obviously keeping my job because security.) and just seeing what happens and what I'm actually capable of building. I'm not going to go too far into it, I will say though it is mundane. Boring. But, something I enjoy and hope is promising and leading somewhere cool.

I've found myself more and more often sitting down to get to it in the very few spare moments of my day (the window when my wife is at work, two older kids are at school and youngest is napping.) promising myself I'll 'be productive this time' and just getting sidetracked and writing the day off.

So yeah, the decision is that I'm just going to have to remove some distractions and get to work. Then, I'll come back knowing better as to where devoting my time to this leads, rather than wondering 'what if I did that thing' later. The reason I've landed on Thursday is that's when my weekend ends in my everyday line of work. So I'm going to give myself this weekend to live it up.

Thanks for being cool.
See you all in about six months.
