There's a lot of difference between writing "Was hoping to have this done by the weekend but a series of unfortunate incidents ( like large scale hdd failures ) meant that things at the $dayjob got a bit hectic and this slipped a few days." and writing "Was hoping to have this done by the weekend but a series of unfortunate incidents ( like large scale hdd failures at the $dayjob) meant that things got a bit hectic and this slipped a few days." so, as I read it, I had help with the conflation. Further, I'm surprised to learn that Karanbir's employer would go against Karanbir's presumed advice against allowing such a situation to develop. Even further, the resistance to properly funding this project is truly amazing.
