Many Thanks for the kind words. I felt I misjudged the purpose of this thread and did not want to sidetrack the conversation / steal the attention.

Also I feel like I am personally a better talker then doer, so I always get a bit of internal backlash within myself when I spend time talking about what I am doing vs doing it. In a similar vein, I need to reduce my addiction to Hacker News and use the time to study theorem proofs ;) But I think we all suffer from something similar :)
