So I'm taking six months off...

Now, I know you hardly care other than perhaps to think to yourself that I'm a particularly lucky schmuck and momentarily ponder why you're not lucky enough to be in my position.

If you're still reading at this point then you have a surprisingly long attention span for someone who exists in this present day and age. I assume you're wondering what someone lucky enough to have six months of time to squander as they see fit would do with it all. I'm wondering that myself. I'm already six weeks or so into it and have mostly been catching up on projects around the home rather than somewhat more constructive activities such as writing and recording some of my own music, research into computer programming languages and frameworks, visiting exotic locations, or other such things that might be expected of one in my situation.

Hopefully that will all change soon...
