I have to say I am impressed.  Working with a 4 year old and 2 month old
around.  Wow.


Being a forced office worker, I can honestly say that I still get more done at home at night than I do during the day at the office. I'm most productive when I have scheduled maintenance, as I'm permitted to sleep in, which puts me working during my comfortable time frames (I hate getting up early).

When I was younger, I did my best work at the applebee's bar. Even had my own brass plate on the bar. C++ and tequila worked well together.

For the record, my home schooling son does more work late at night as well.
