I have been very busy over the last few months and haven't had much time to go on stackoverflow. As you can see, I only answered 66 questions over the last 5 months, but my previous answers have helped keep my reputation ticking along nicely. For me, stackoverflow has not simply been a quest for reputation, but more about learning new technologies and picking up advice from other people on the site. I like to take on challenging questions, rather than the easy ones, because it pushes me to do research into areas I have never looked at before, and I learn so much during the process.

Next stop, 80k!
