Lately I've been working on some goofy projects like WZBlue, my gtk+ lobby monitor for Warzone 2100. But there's other projects I'm having trouble getting any momentum going again. Two good examples are my packrat package manager, which has stalled, and NEXUS, which I want to add ignore support to, but haven't had the drive to actually complete that work. I simply seem to not give a flying fuck.
I don't seem to care much about my normal projects anymore. I enjoy working with GTK, my latest pet, but I'm in the process of learning C++, which knocks the steam out of any C-based GTK+ projects I might envision. I already know C very well, so I'm expanding to be able to read and write C++ as well.
I'm always tired from the still-untreated chronic exhaustion, and coupled with this severe lack of motivation, I find myself watching south park all day and sleeping constantly. I haven't done much coding beyond my little WZBlue project in the last two months.
A couple months back, I wrote a crude AI in Javascript for "High Oil" Warzone 2100, called RatBot, but it's not done and has some strange and rather severe bugs I need to work out. For one, it performs far better in non-networked skirmish than multiplayer, which really, are the same thing, except skirmish has no networking. I've ran into such severe bugs, I kinda stopped working on it altogether for a while. I think of all the projects on the table, that's the one most likely to get me working again.
I'm not a depressed person, I've never been diagnosed with depression, and it usually takes a decent sized reason for me to get all depressed. They've tested my thyroid, it came back normal. No anemia, or sleep apnea.
What am I going to do...

Yeah.
I like what Metallica's James Hettfield does -- he puts his guitar in its case, then puts that behind his couch, and forgets about guitar for 6 months or so.
Then, when he opens the case and starts playing again, he is revitalized.
So...fold up the laptop and shove it under the bed?
