I'm not sure that's always such a good idea.
Can you imagine if you had a machine drawing pictures based on all the things you stared at all day? Could require some awkward explanations.

I can imagine, and that would be awkward enough.

I had to wait for an hour outside a supermarket in a shopping centre north of Cairns this morning, an astonishingly pleasant exercise (remember I live in Singapore where Hooters only have legs). If an AI was going to draw something from what I was focused on it would probably be classed as soft porn.
I have since been told I am NOT allowed to hang around there and I am NOT to take my long rain coat with me.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I like it but was left confused; was T'Snik a Blob or a Yawn? My thought was that it was a Yawn but as both communicated with light-patterns, I couldn't be definite about which it was.

Hmm. Good feedback, thanks!
T'Snick is a blob - in the story he stifles a Yawn!
(did you get that it was meant to be footnotes? I'm not sure that came over in the presentation online - it may be better in a printed version)

Cool. The writing style reminds me of early Asimov, particularly the Encyclopedia Galactica excerpts in the Foundation trilogy, which interestingly enough appeared first as a short story too ([^])

Wow! Thanks.
Did you get that it was supposed to be footnotes? I don't think that came across?
The premise was that the entire first sentence of the story (T'snick stifled a yawn) was footnoted to extremes - but in the online version at least, the footnote references in the original sentence were missing!
T'snick1stifled a Yawn2
Then each of the footnotes had further footnotes...
Ah well... to remind you of Asimov is indeed a compliment!

Hi All,
Testing a Widget and noticed the following bizzar behavoir, power everything on, gets stable, load config, load test script and run, no it wont work. Leave hardware on go for a coffee system starts working mysteriously. Next day same procedure system won't work until I have a coffee. Try different order repeatledly system starts working when I have a coffee. So, I am now confused it only works when I have ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) why I cannont let this by (I mean I would love to write the manual, clag all bits together open a config file (not specific) run test scripts while making and consuming coffee for best results use Tassimo)

Correlation does not causation...or something like that...
|
|
|
|

Certainly true, but in both cases mentioned here (the ice cream and the 500 miles) there was more than mere correlation.

Is it the smell/odor of fresh brewed coffee that opens the dimensional portal to success? If so, you may want to keep a cup of coffee lying around your work-space 24 hours a day, and see if the portal stays open for that long?
If it is the actual action of you consuming coffee that keeps the portal open, then I would recommend a continuous IV drip.
Good luck.

Well that would answer most of the problems I have. However getting it past Heath & Safety Elf would be achievement worth of an award!

Did you try turning the percolator off, then on again?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
