IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
I'd like to let everybody know that currently my life is a big mess and needs some cleaning. When looking at all the kind of projects i have open:
- a few websites which needs to be finished soon (within 2 weeks) - RealBot, CS 2D, Dune 2 - The Maker plus: - lots of school work for 2 years plus: - a vacation coming plus: - only 1 chance to get my school stuff done , else i can kiss my ass goodbye plus: - i play piano, and lessons start soon - i play guitarre (well, i tend to, just have no time) - i play in a band plus: - i have friends (a few, but they consume time) - i have a girlfriend (...need to say more?...) - i have Bots-United (which i visit so much, that when the internet conneciton is down, my school work seems to increase with 200% heh) plus: - i have work, and this week i will be working 6 days... calculate the time i have left, devide that with the above amount of elements and see how many minutes i can actually spend... also do not forget i need to eat, sleep, etc. About sleep, its been fucking warm out here in Holland, i haven't slept for a few days at all or not more then 1 hour. This breaks me up, unless like PM or something, i NEED sleep. Its kind off strange; that in a holiday time i feel more pressure then i have ever felt in the overal feeling of my life. To prevent me from driving nuts by being obliged (or better said, feeling to be obliged..) by so many things i have to cut off a few things and make clear what i can handle now. My main priority is school work, i have to work on it, fast, and good. I will stop working on Dune 2 - The Maker and CS 2D; i will remove the shortcuts on my desk, as they are making me nervous. I will remove the RealBot shortcut as well, because thats the main time eating thing for the past several years. Its open source now, and currently i do not want to work on it with so many things on my head, i cant think clear, i stress out and i do not make my environment happier with my behaviour due this stress. Note, i do not stop , kill, pull the plug or whatever on RealBot. I want it to continue. And the past several days i saw that this is going well without my help constantly. I am glad about that. I will visit Bots-United. I will not just vanish or something. I just want to make clear that you cannot expect as much as you used to. I do want to try the council membership and such; but its up the council if i am still functioning as i should over the time being. I understand if there are people not satisfied and want a replacement over time. In very short: RealBot is not dead, its father is just leaving him alone for a while... I actually do not feel well by saying all of this, but i have no choice. If i do not keep up soon, i can kiss my future goodbye, and i want to have that future very much. I hope you all understand; if not, i do not care. |

It does make sense... take some rest (you will come back with even more ideas and energy :D ), work hard for your school, spend time with GF! Reabots & CS are not everything in the real world ;) BTW, it is also quite hot in Belgium and I can't sleep as well :'( -eric PS: heu... do not forget to come back from times to times ;) PS2: if you read this, this means that you failed to stick to your plan :P |
Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
take your time, buddy...
you've done more than enough! well... that's what i call an agenda... that's more one man can handle, uh? ;) cheers and Best Bytes®, Harry |
Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
read it eek ;)
anyway, i am at bu from time to time, i do not just dissapear! |
Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
Stefan, take care of your immediate prioritys. I used to play in a band too and that required a lot of commitment itself. I look back now and wondered just why I was so rushed and had so many things to do. I should of done what you are doing and just taken a rest instead of muddling through it. It affected my schoolwork and my choice of career (flunked the last year completly) so now you have made the decision, go with it! Take a rest and see other things because later on you can come back with fresh visions and ideas. No one else can give you the opportunities you have now, grab em with both hands and don't worry about Realbot, I'm sure Evy will take up the reins for a while. Thanks for getting us this far!
PS Its too hot in Scotland at the moment too. lol |
Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
I know exactly what you are talking about. I'm in a similar situation. Do what you have to do because you're no good to anyone or yourself when stressed out.
That vaction sounds like something you should be concentrating on 8) |

Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
he Stefan,
i can feel your PITA, what kept me alive (i rouded my work-hours-per-week counter by 16, it is a two digit decimal counter) where notifications about new posts to some old threads here, and Nova on the ICQ :) [kudos out to AU] so if in doubt, just "click" me for a short chat, i will almost allway be online in ICQ. for the rest i'm shure you will manage real-life better if you take your time "off", it worked for me and BU is no place you can forget, nor you can abandon. same is for RB, it will go on it's own, heck it's a grown up, well educated kid :) Cheers Onno |
Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
Good Luck Stef.

Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
I can understand that, I'm in the EXACT SAME situation here :|
vacation ? these 2 weeks away did a lot for me. I needed them. The drawback is that now that I'm back there's even more things to do, I have to catch it up from where I left it all, argh |

On a more serious note it really is years since I was actually properly active. Years. It is a very sobering thought.:( BTW, I thought you'd finished CS 2D well, years ago. The stuff you showed us over ICQ? It is such a long time ago that I can't remember if that was just promotional... argh. |

Heyyo,
What helps me sleep, especially when I'm not feeling good is dimetap.. think about it, medicine head makes you drowsy, helps you sleep faster. :P You can't sleep in the heat? well, I guess somepeople aren't as hot blooded as us asians... lol, it's like, record hot weather here in Canada before, n' I still coudlnt' sleep without my freakin' blanket n' comforter blanket. :P |
Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
Hey Stefan, hate to bug you, but the realbot scene seems to have evaporated since you've gone on your realbot hiatus. I keep getting rejected from the CVS server and don't know who to contact. If you still read this thread, please let me know who to contact about it. Also, I hope you're not too stressed about your "future". I've been follwing your RealBot progress since before you started working on the WIP versions and I can assure you that anyone with your coding skills has no worries whatsoever about a financial future, if that's the particular future you're worried about. As for the rest of your life, I have no idea, but I wish you the best of luck. My advice is to get as much of your s#!$ done as you can and then relax and not worry about the s#!$ you can't get done. And always remember to stop every now and then to enjoy the fruits of your labors because you never know when the US is going to invade your country and kill you.

Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
Heyyo,
The probs with CVS, filebase, n' other small bugs are already known, the BU crew are gonna get this all fixed up, n' soon hopefully, cause it's been a little messed up since they transferred to a new server. Then you'll have np's browsing the CVS, filebase, etc. ;) As for Stephan, he still pokes around these forums every once inna while. so at least we know he's still doin' ok. :) |
Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
I've been away too long. Anything I can do to help?

Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all

Re: IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Read all
