One of the symptoms of working as a coder for too long is that you get overly organised. My daily life is all too often a list of lists.
You spend your time at work going through the list of bugs assigned to you, following lists of steps to reproduce the bug, jotting down a timeline - a list of occurances. Then you get home and follow a TO-DO list or a shopping list.
Do that for a while and pretty soon you’ll feel like a human s-expression interpreter. I suspect that time management and spontaneity are natural enemies.
So - time for a holiday. At first I was thinking Hong Kong, because it’s like a concentrated portion China, except well run. Heading off into the 3rd world for a first overseas trip seemed a little daunting, so I figured I’d pick something fairly affluent and Western for starters.
I’m having second thoughts though. It’s starting to become apparent that after I’m finished up with the Jackass project, it’ll be Hong Kong’s hot and humid rainy season. Any recommendations folks?
Update! I’m gonna take a tour through Hong Kong and China.
