Commitment and Dedication Considered Harmful

Ok, not really, but my commitment and dedication to a new project has had an interesting, if annoying, side-effect.

Now that I have demonstrated to myself that I can commit nearly all of my free time to work on something and enjoy it, I am continually finding new things I want to do:

I've had numerous ideas for other projects, but I need to just do one thing at a time.

It has re-kindled my love for learning:

I really want to learn Erlang.  I've bought the book, I read the blogs, but I just can't afford to spend the time.

I want to re-learn math.  My self-education in computer science has illustrated two things.

1. Not taking comp-sci courses and related math courses is hindering my advancement in programming.
2. I may have learned some math before, but I didn't really understand it.  Now I'm beginning to pick some things back up and I'm actually understanding it-- if because I can approach it from the programming angle.
