Burning the midnight oil

Martin Michlmayr, the Debian Project Leader, blogged about working late in the night. After a week of sleepless nights, I really know what he means. Last night (if you can call it "night", at that hour), I've submitted my project at 06:53, after a 36-hour hackathon (with about 6 hours of sleep in between). At that hour in the morning, boy, did I wish it were only 22:22!

Eh, I guess I'll sleep when I'm 80. ;-)

I've just realized that it wasn't obvious from the blog entry, but the "reflexes" I've been talking about are caused by fatigue, not by some mental illness, or by the corporate mind programming we are exposed to. Don't even get me started on those. ;-)
