The productivity of an all nighter

Published By Corey on Jan.20.2009 at 4:18AM

I've lost count of how many all nighters I have done since becoming entrenched with software development in 2002. I would peg the number somewhere around 40.

One thing is for certain though, nothing beats the productivity you can achieve when all possible distractions (both self inflicted and beyond your control) are removed.

Today turned into an all nighter when some major server moves were impacted by some missing libraries. Being resourceful when everyone has gone to sleep and you can't seek their counsel is a major confidence builder. On top of it I knocked off 15 items from my TODO list that I thought would remain nagging well into next week!

Well that about sums it up, felt like far too long since I posted to the blog. Maybe I'll edit this post tomorrow morning, after a huge sleep, and put some charts or insights in!

First off:

We're sorry the posts haven't been forthcoming lately.

Secondly:

We have an excuse, albeit a poor one. Work, life, and the holidays simply got the best of us.

We didn't forget about the blog… in fact we have a few posts ready and waiting to post, so stay close and we'll get them online pronto.

For those of you wondering what we were keeping busy with over the last little while, let's just say i'm sure a post or two about iPhone apps will appear in near future.
