I'm sorry to see this. Peter was a friend, and it was great to meet someone else in Chicago working on similar stuff. (We joked that you can tell us apart because he's the Peter in Chicago bootstrapping a social game built in Rails, and I'm the Peter in Chicago bootstrapping a social game built in Rails.) I'm hoping he finds a way to reactivate this project or starts something else great. I had similar issues working steadily on my project and eventually started a little contest at http://www.soplayweall.com to help keep myself accountable.
This was mostly about me not wanting to face reality, and then finding out that reality didn't care whether I was paying attention or not. Lesson learned.
