That's true. The effort was very concentrated.

Those days in late 2003 were crazy. Waking up at noon to work on it for until 9:00pm, and then off to a night shift writing boring tests script stuff until the morning. And also weekends. It was like a full time job with extra hours during that month. Was full head-on stamina at age 21, and I don't even drink tea or coffee.

Interestingly, if it wasn't for the boring night shift job I had back then, I would have never found all the time back at home during the day time to do all this. And once I figured out how I want to write it, nothing stopped me until it worked.
