I was just explaining to Kari why some of the things I have promised (gotcha day profile element, new chat system, etc) have taken so long  :verdict:. I finally came across proof that it's not entirely my fault.  :thumb:

An excerpt.
"A (somewhat joking) rule of thumb introduced by Hofstadter for calculating an approximate time is to double the number and step up to the next higher units. For example, a job estimated at 1 hour can be accomplished in 2 days, while a 3-month project will take you 6 years."  :2funny:
