Fantastic! You are a stronger person that you thought!
I am certain, without even knowing you, that the people who care about you notice a positive difference too.

To what do you owe your success?  Support from family/friends? Any new activities?

For me, it was keeping a journal. Whenever those inevitable moments (more like entire evenings) of weakness came, reading my thoughts from "stronger" times really helped.

What is working for you?

Personally, my ideal work environment is a nice cool dark room, lit by the glow of LCD screens and blinky lights. Offices, of course, force us to work under gray flourescent lighting.

So, do you prefer the lights on or off?

You're right Kettch.
My observation is just in my little part of the world. I see more and more desktops being replaced with notebooks. It will be a long time coming, but as the heat and flexibility needs are addressed, I do believe ultimately the desktop will become a dinosaur. The shift is already very slowly happening.

I think desktops will slowly disappear. I see it already. More and more offices are providing their people with notebooks. Personally, my entire family is all mobile now as well. 
It will take a while, but as the performance and ability differences continue to disappear, I believe the desktop will ultimately go the way of Eniac. As Mobile Broadband continues to increase bandwidth, it will help things too.

I'm a MS junkie, preferring to use MS tools over all else just because, but WMP has had me playing with Real and WinAmp over the last year because it is almost completely unusable. Sad.

I don't have the multi-monitor problem that Scooter has. My guess is that it is related to the video overlay settings with his video drivers. However, I too am annoyed by those dang store icons.

WMP is a sad disappointment, and it pains me to admit it.

So I knew that some teams at MS use SCRUM (or a modified version) and it worked, the discussion has started. Maybe this trick is unprofessional, but it work sometimes.


You betrayed the trust of your team. You failed as a leader. Not just lying, but the arrogance you show trying to explain it. If you expect technical excellence and accuracy from your team, then you need to work on yourself first.

I migrated two of my machines to Vista: a desktop and my tablet. Both fairly high end machines. Both are back with XP after months of fighting Vista RC1 through RTM.

I'm sure to get Vista preloaded on my next new machines. Hopefully, the experience will be better.
