In January 2007, I experienced a burn out. The reasons for the burn out was an unstable private life combined with the stress of a new job. After a month or so, I was able to resume work, although gradually. But for a long, long time, I did not have the energy to do stuff outside office hours. In March of this year, I managed to write an extension called KML2OV2 for TomTom HOME 2.3. It was the first sign that I was on the way to recovery.

It has taken more than 18 months to get the courage to fix the issues with my custom blogging application. My blog posts were stored in XML files in a separate folder outside the web-application folder. The reason was that deployment of a new version of the web application caused all content in the folder to be deleted. The deployment scheme changed with the introduction of ASP.NET 2.0. Anyway, some parts of the web-application to start work again. Other parts are still broken. For example, I get an error when I try to use the web service to post. Oh well, a hobby needs to time.
