It made me
very happy 
"started coding again, playing with diy electronics stuff when i have time. plenty geeky."
How I did it: just availed myself to learning, hacking, and playing around. work also helped as i was more or less forced to write some code, fix some bugs. rediscovered the joy of hack.
Lessons & tips: Open mind.
