Felt stuck recently, with too much going on to make real progress.

Phone scammers are not as committed as they used to be.
You point out one little mistake with their BS and they just hang up.
It's no fun any more.
I just realised that the last time I put any effort in to my personal websites was when twitter was worth using.
