Yes, he really does work that many hours! I live with him and am the one that runs errands, cooks, cleans, maintains the workspace, cares for his health, and makes sure the bills are paid just so he can spend his entire waking day sitting in front of a freakin' huge pile of computer equipment, have hundreds of browser windows open and monitor them all just so y'all can snark and have a jolly good laugh at his obvious exaggeration and whining. You're welcome. He is the hardest working human I have ever met (and I come from a large family of workaholics). He has worked on NTP for many more years than I have known him and in 2008 he realized that there needed to be a more stable system of funding and support. Harlan has worked tirelessly since then to create that system. All the money that comes in goes right back to the project. No one is getting rich off of this. I keep a large garden and have chickens to help with food costs. No one around here has had anything that looks like a vacation in 7 years. My house needs painting. I could go on but I will finish by saying that I'm not trying to garner pity, believe me there are days when I want to walk out just because I have to live with the consequences of all the entities that rely on this "bit" of the internet being a bunch of freakin' moochers and I'm tired of it. I am doing my (sometimes begrudging) part. Why don't a few of you clever sorts step up to help also?
