Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, or got something from it.

Seems we have walked very similar paths... mine led to self-employment in fairly short order simply because I really suck badly at sticking to things I don't believe in. I also don't have a lot of ambition, in the sense that I am no good at just "grin and bear it."

On a positive level (I suppose) it's great because it means that I get very "engaged" in those projects I really believe in, but it also means I tend to bomb out when I get disillusioned with them.
