Pressure's off. Now I can collapse.

I mentioned on Monday that it had not been an entirely stress-free weekend. What I didn't mention is that in addition to helping set up and clear up a wedding, doing an above-average number of household chores and having the Doctor Who gathering unexpectedly relocated to my flat, I was also frantically working to produce a new PuTTY release, after being notified of a second really bad security hole on Friday. With a side order of near-crippling guilt over having put the hole there in the first place, much like last time.

That release went out yesterday evening, so now I can relax. I feel as if I've been running entirely on adrenaline for at least the last couple of days. I didn't stay at the Calling long because as soon as the pressure was off the energy evaporated and I found myself close to being asleep on my feet.

Now I really need a weekend, but since one won't be forthcoming for a few more days I'll have to go with the next best thing, which is intensive sofa therapy in front of my shiny new James Bond DVD collection.

Yep, I know that feeling all too well:-(

Congrats on getting the new PuTTY release out so promptly and with such care to detail. I don't pretend to understand the geeky stuff, but I'm very pleased the security holes have been fixed and I'm really looking forward to this 'start a new session in an inactive window' feature (yeah, not very exciting or anything, but it'll make my life so much easier).

And the first thing that happens is people flame you on /. for not accepting features :).

Bugger - I wondered why you werent around on the weekend. I'm back in Aus now and the threatened grue feeding hasnt happened *sigh*. And you werent at ADW's party so I didnt get to hug you goodbye. Oh well you're welcome to visit if you're over here and I promise to feed you *grin*. (I actually masquerade as a human over here too)

Yes, I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it to Andrew's. But I had thought there was still time for me to feed you - you only made your surprise appearance three weeks ago and I thought you'd said you'd be in the UK for five. Did the plans change, or did I misunderstand them?

Oh well. *hugs*, and hopefully we'll meet again at some point...

You were right - I was supposed to be in the UK for 5 weeks. Unfortunately shi* hit fan wrt work and I felt I needed to be back here to protect my back. So I cut it short by a couple of weeks. Figure I'll need those hols after dealing with the current stress levels pending and after one day back at work getting a feel for it all I'm convinced it was the right decision. I'm a bit miffed at missing people though <-:
