It's been brought to my attention that I work too much. And while I have to admit that I probably indeed do work too much, I cannot shake a certain passion for it.
I get up and go to sleep with my work, because I adore it.
Although I said to a few people during the tiring month of December, that I couldn't find my spirit anymore to go and give all I got every day, that feeling has started to turn since a few weeks.
I even found myself starting to work on a new design for my website, which is liberating in a way.
Yet just a moment ago I had to stop myself and look at what I had been dreaming up.
I had been dreaming of my html/css/javascript based website as if it was a flash/flex application. And while it could work, I have to ask myself, how far can I take this? At what point do I have to admit to myself that maybe, I need to switch to other means of development?
But dreaming on how to animate something like html, make it vibrant with colors, tempting to click and discover, in itself proves that I'm certainly not done doing flash and flex.
I adore it, although only flex is open source. And it might be against my principles to be forced to work on a non-linux environment due to FlashCS4, but I cannot help but let that slide because it kindles something passionate in me.
A few hours ago, right before I left work, I attached a 17inch touchscreen to my workstation to test the application I had been working on for some time now. And it is a joy to find out how it interacts.
I do realize I have to redo certain points of the project. But it is fun to play with things like these.
