Sporadic posts!

The one and the only reason for my posts becoming very sporadic and almost nil, for the past few months, is that i am very busy. First, let me explain my schedule for the past 4 months.
1) Started from Seoul on 4th May.
2) 4th May ~ 30th May in Dallas
3) 30th May ~ 12th June in Seoul
4) 12th June ~ 15th July in New Jersey
5) 15th July ~ 20th July in Seoul
6) 20th July ~ 5th Aug in New Jersey
7) 5th Aug ~ 15th Aug in Dallas
8) Back to New Jersey on 15th Aug

When someone has such a schedule, then something takes a backseat. And also, i was slogging, as though am batting during the 20th over of a twenty20 cricket match, putting in more than 14 hours a day, and 6 days a week on most weeks. Now, if we look at the famous project management triangle, we have three variables, the cost, time and the quality.

One can only have two of those variables favorable to oneself, while the third variable suffers. So, in my case, because of the lack of time, i did not dare venture into blogging as its quality may suffer. A cursory glance at my site meter suggests me that i cannot risk losing whatever minimum readership that i possess :)

Here is a modified triangle, which depicts my current situation.
