That cost me another hour of my day :-)

Erased everything except the last 2 hours.

I spent the last 3 hours. :)

D'oh, I had a 20-hour day in my mind, for some reason.

You bastard. Now I'll be distracted for an hour!

I thought the exact same thing yesterday, 'Am I running out of time?'.

This essay is like a godsend.

I have negative time left. I beat the clock ;)

Well there went the last 30 minutes of my life. Turns out I can sustain 86wpm which is better than I expected. Was fun. Thank you :)

It's been a couple hours. So what'd you do?

gouranga | karma 1679 | avg karma 2.28 · | 2012-06-26 04:14:46

That's pretty awesome. There goes my productivity for the next couple of hours :(

jdkee | karma 6954 | avg karma 4.76 · | 2022-11-04 08:51:21

Thanks, just lost 7 hours of time.

I got done at 3:08, but was still on time, somehow... 8)

Hah! Thanks for commiserating. Yeah, I was all revved up. Even loaded up on Frank's Noodle House takeout - my all-night nerd-out favorite. Spent the last couple hours doing backups so I could jump into work tomorrow. Just got screwed by the last guy in the supply chain =\

Mmkay, George.

(Though check the time stamp. I left, ran my errand, and came back. Though I will probably log off again soonish to sleep.)

Can I just say I'm remarkably relieved I have an excuse to kick back for the next hour and do nothing?

iuguy | karma 9954 | avg karma 5.53 · | 2010-01-16 09:41:35+00:00

That is incredible. My weekend is now officially over.

Wow. #1 on HN. Wow.

I'd usually hang around a bit more, but I'm really tired. I posted this past my midnight. 00:51 now, and I'm fading fast.

Thanks for all the love, everyone. I'll come over tomorrow (12 hours from now, or so) to answer any questions or to pick up any corrections.
