While enjoying my cup of coffee on this freezing cold winter's morning, I thought I would play around in the Lazarus repository. I am situated in the GMT+2 time zone, so you can adjust the time statistics to fit your needs. All statistics are generated using only the last six months, which should represent current trends.

Most productive hours in a day
------------------------------
$ git log --since=6.months --pretty=format:%cD | cut -d' ' -f5 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

09:00 and 08:00 in the morning seems to be the winners. Early bird catches the worm. Clearly this does not apply to me!

No. Martin touches synedit mostly. I only did few non-important things there. I'm editing lcl mostly and ide+debugger sometimes.

Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

My apologies to Martin then. :) Thanks to _all_ for the excellent work in SynEdit and Lazarus in general - it's a pleasure working in Lazarus IDE now.

That's me.
