Some days you wake up an year older, but old problems still surround you...

Yeah, today I turned 45.

But I can't get past an uncompleted years-old Java project, that is keeping my hands contractually tied, and making it really hard not to go bankrupt.

Mild depression over the issue is probably the cause of a very large drop on my productivity as a developer, that only adds to the problem, making it harder to solve.

Even the projects I do really enjoy, like Mono and MonoDevelop, are suffering from this situation, as I can't get the inner peace I need to really contribute to them.

My loving wife and those two beautiful kids we have, are the only reason I really have to not give up on everything...

Happy birthday to me!
