It has been brought to my attention that I talk too much, both in RL and on the Net.

I am therefore scaling down my online activities as soon as possible to concentrate on finding work.

That's depressing, and no, talking isn't a bad thing.

People who think you talk too much can stuff it. It annoys the hell out of me the way people think they can just tell someone to shut up. Especially if you're not even involved in the conversation.

Continue talking, your articles and threads curiousitied me. ^^

Stop being so melodramatic and a drama queen! ;)

You are full of wonderful ideas, inventions and new methods that I am blown away by the shear amount of threads and chat lines coming from you. I like most of what you attribute with to this forum and hope you will continue to do so :)

Stop! Take a breath.
Don't ever change yourself for the sake of others, they don't have to live your life.
Your creative ingenuity also blows me away and I know that someday something great will come from that great mind.

Yeah, great ideas maybe but no useful results.
My laser etching idea never worked properly because every time I ran into a problem (bad driver pcb, dodgy diodes etc) I got fed up with it and moved on to something unrelated like "lets see if this 8 year old rebuilt Sony Vaio still works with no screen, keyboard or hard disk.." Hint it didn't.
So far I have a grand total of six broken laptops which have about as much chance of working as the Government have of scrapping Trident.

Case in point, this Dell did work up until I took the LCD out to fix a friend's broken IBM. Neither the bad backlight screen or the Â£40 replacement worked

Have two broken netbooks, one with toasted IDE port and another with what seems to be a screen fault, both of which were due to being a cheapskate and trying to use an unsuitable drive rather than living with a slow SSD.

Same with my work, it seems I can't concentrate as well as I used to.

Any ideas?

Is this because you are out of work and people around you are saying you're spending too much time online, etc. and not enough time looking for a job, Conundrum?

Most of us have been there at one time or another, I'm too ill to work now....more time to spend doing what I want to do.....

EDIT: I was typing this when you posted your previous post, I was under the impression you were out of work, due to a recent post in the 'for sale or trade' section.

Thanks for pointing that out!

And Andre, I've only been a little active on the 4hv chat, but I have seen many of your innovative and impressive ideas. (Kudos btw.) But I think that it would be really sad for this already "crippled" community to loose one of its greatest resources.

We all have our problems that we need to cope with. Think positive, that's what I did. It sounds simple but it is not. Though it got me out of a serious drug problem so I've put it to the test with good results.

Not too much as in number of words. The problem is that you often deliver a long association chain of ideas that takes a lot of concentration and energy to follow. There are signs you can look for to find out if people are starting to phase out. For example counting sentences you deliver in a row. If you are doing all the talking then it is often a sign that people have reached their saturation point. Find something simple and interesting and stick to that. Each leap you do will halve the number of people that manages follow it.

same with my work, it seems I can't concentrate as well as I used to.

Any ideas?

Do something simple and follow it through completely and take great care not to follow any new ideas. Write down what you are supposed to do and stick to that. The more unfinished projects you have the more likely it is that you will start a new one you will not finish.

If what you make is actually useful it counts as ten completed projects.
