Unfortunately Moo said the next diary's coming next year, I doubt there will be any surprises. Guess we can't expect forum activity from CO either, don't think they want anything to do with C:S for a few weeks ;D

Yeah I figured.

However developers are strange (or at least I am) your job is something you'd probably do for fun anyway. During my last vacation I spent a few days working up an MVC application just to see how MVC worked :eek:o

There is a huge difference in coding for your job (where you have people telling you how it should work, why it's wrong...) and coding for fun what ever you want, the way you want.
On vacation, I don't even want to think 1 second about the program I do at work. But on something else, no problem at all.

In general, but even so, I've had issues that I've been so determined to solve it does bleed into my free time ... you know sudden thoughts at 3 in the morning when you realise a possible solution.

And if my job was coding this :p

Haha yea, I wonder how much of the coding at this point is fun for CO, I mean designing the game is all fun but actually doing the dirty work must be shitty sometimes :D

You want a small Christmas surprise? I recommend signing up to our general newsletter :)

Yes, I'll be gone from Dec 19th to Jan 5th. So expect a little decrease in activity and... well... let's just say we're planning to make up for it next year.
