Nice. Looks like it's done in java?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Re-started reading the series[^] yesterday night. I read the two first books a few years ago, and got frustrated that the ending were still not written at that time Now that teh cycle is done, I give it another try.

Did you know that if you swapped the E for a D you get the description of how time feels as you watch the film.

Just had to google it, I did not realize they made a movie out of it. Well, IRC, the movie vs. book debate has already been made here earlier this week...

Rather simplistic book but a good achievement considering the age of the author.

Yes, exactly my opinion after reading the books last time.

I really liked the first book, but further down the road it sort of got stuck, like there wasnt really anything interesting going on...

I believe the third book wasn´t really thát good, but I did like the final book. It is pretty well conceived .

For past 20 hours I was away from internet and phone. Felt like something is missing in my life. It took a while to realize that I do not really have a life if I remove internet. Scary. I now plan to spend at least a weekend a month without gadgets.
I did realized how much I can think and create after these distractions are removed. Either I was traumatized due to lack of internet or I can write some good stories.

Good for you, I've often suggested this to the missus, to no avail. Occasionally I'll go fishing/hiking for a day without a gadget and often feel that a weight has been lifted, it's quite nice.

I get your plot. Send her out on something so you can submerge yourself in to internet. Intelligent fella.

It's good to spend some time 'off grid'. Being online really reduces productivity in most aspects of life, although that's not true at work because having access to CP, SO and Google outweighs the time wasted posting on the Lounge and similar places.

Don't get me wrong. I like all of this. All I am saying is that we need to understand and live a balanced life.
Since, I live alone it is difficult and, well, crazy, so I think more about these kind of escapes.

Good for you. Years ago we got rid of the TV and have never missed it. We spend too much time on idle activities. We could all do better to unplug more often.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That's why I started woodworking.
It's aMAZING what happens to your head when it's not being blasted with the noise of the innert00bz.
Go to youtube and look up "Izzy Swan" and his "$50 wood shop" series (and the rest of his stuff.)
He's truly inspiring.

So...you're suggesting that in order to get away from t'interweb, we should start with a series of visits to YouTube...

It'll accelerate the process, yes.

I got a chuckle from that, we have been married over 30 years, I get a phone call from her maybe once a month, she has been travelling for 4 weeks and I have a total of 2 emails from her. Different strokes I guess.

"Given the choice between two evils, I'd take the one I hadn't tried before."
