A conundrum indeed. I could sit at my desk longer, I suppose, but I'd be completely worthless and probably counterproductive.

After 12-14 hours, you are going to be pretty punch drunk, and your productivity will approach zero (I've been there). I think it may take more than 3 weeks, unless you can quickly rope your family into programming for you.

Child labor - excellent idea. As my dad would always say " what do you think we had kids for? Now go mow the lawn."
