Hello everyone!
I know it's been a really really long time ... but it is what it is ...
I've been away for personal reasons ... life was hitting me hard from every single aspect imaginable ... and the pressure was immense. It seemed the only thing I was succeeding at was android :/ ... which while satisfying ... is certainly not enough in the end.
So in short ... I vowed to myself (on behalf of those closest to me) ... (and for other reasons ... such as feeling like quitting android altogether) ... that I'd take the entire month of Jan. 2011 off android wise. ... meaning no xda posts ... no tweets ... no development ... no nothin (android related) ... period.
And well ... it paid huge dividends personally ... lots of positive things happened for me during this time.
I am sorry I was unable to post as to my where-abouts/status during this time ... but a promise is a promise.
To be fair/honest to everyone ... I'm still unsure as to whether I'll be returning soon or not ... there's a lot involved in this decision ... more than I care to explain.
But do know ... I'd really like to ... albeit in some healthier balanced fashion.
I have much love for android as a side development hobby ... and much love for the loyal and very respectful following I've acquired in this wonderful community!
Unfortunately ... between the high development demands of my "real job" ... and the overwhelming personal demands associated with my dearest relationships ... android as a hobby has proven to be problematic when attempting to juggle it all.
I'm still pondering if there is a healthy balance with this hobby and the rest of my life ... I still haven't become enlightened to any actual solution to that end.
Just wanted to drop a quick to note to everyone ... it's been wayyyyyyyyy too long.
As always, I really appreciate all the kind words, support and encouragement this community has given to me.
Now that my android prohibition promise has expired ... I will keep everyone informed as I become more enlightened about the future of my involvement in this community ... as my hobby.
Love you all!
