Ask HN: What happened to Steve Yegge after 'quitting'

The recent "I'm coding 180 websites' post inspired me to get a group of friends to commit to set aside some time for study hall to work on things once a week--hopefully more often. I used Steve's OsConn talk (google Steve Yegge Quits)to help show the value of study hall hours. Curious to know if anyone has heard an update on his goal of study hall hours everyday for an hour to learn math. Surprised there isn't a follow up talk, post or rant to that talk. Or have you had any success setting aside set time to work on side projects or just to learn something?
