Well, Christian, I took the phrase “time-out to mean holiday. In other words, a time out from gentoo is a holiday away from it. Having said that, your time out has been about as effective as Alec’s. You guys need to learn to get away from the keyboard. :p
Especially with real life work becoming more intense for a while: it’s one thing if Gentoo provides you some temporary relief and an escape; quite another if Gentoo just adds to your stress. If it’s the seconds, then you should be more dedicated to your time-out 🙂
It does, however, sound like you deserve a holiday from all this. Perhaps the readers can suggest some places?
