If you have to ask I am your master and you are my slave.

As a contractor I fill one in, model I knit with reversed ball support(9)

I think it's probably timesheet, but the only bit of the solution I can get is reversed ball support (Tee) for the ending 'eet'.
Edit: - T = model, as in model-T Ford, I = i, knit = mesh.

Personally, I just get a kick out of the name, but it'll be the home for a prototype web-based Higher Order Programming Environment soon - about 80% done with getting a pre-pre-pre-(but working)-prototype done to play with semantic types, membranes, receptors, and all that jazz. No cute graphics though.
On a side note, the Ace editor is really great. I've been using it as an online Python editor, and this JSON editor (which uses Ace) is also excellent. In case you were looking for such things, I highly recommend them.

Hi Marc, I find your new site a compelling deconstruction of the cult of UX, a battle-cry to stand firm at the barricades of minimalism under siege by the dark forces of post-truth frills-for-frills-sake design narcissism.
While some might say you are simply repeating your original seminal, revolutionary, breakthrough with the opensauce.com site: [^] ...
I would say that 'temporalagency' is a profound Platonic mimesis, perhaps even a meditation on Socrates' metaphor of the "three beds" ("Republic," Book X) in reverse order ... with the third bed as yet unmade.
As always in awe, this ignoramus, Sir, remains your flawed, but willing, student.

Well, you are much better read than I am! Had to look that up:
one bed exists as an idea made by God (the Platonic ideal); one is made by the carpenter, in imitation of God's idea; one is made by the artist in imitation of the carpenter's

Hah! The feeling is mutual!

 Can it be killed?
Purged?
Exorcised?
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.

No, but it can be transformed. I guess that could be a form of exorcism! 
Then again, maybe I should leave the site as is, as a demonstration of my "vast" knowledge of building web apps. It would be interesting to see what interviewer (as per discussion above) actually looks.

What happens in Paris happens to ... humanity.

Can't fault the truth in that -- it happens pretty much every Thursday in Chicago, New York, etc.
What with a guy a few weeks ago with a knife in London, and a lone shooter in Paris now, we definitely have to move further toward becoming police states, give up more of our rights, and be glad of sh1ttier and sh1ttier treatment from those "protecting" us.

The Police cannot be everywhere, but the general citizenry is. We have to pass laws allowing concealed carrying of weapons, provide training to those who want it, and get rid of many other silly infringements on our freedom.
If a terrorist knew that he would be shot before managing to do more than start his rampage, it might get him to think. He may be willing to die, but dying uselessly is another matter.

WHile in the US I talkewd about guns to a few people.
There is a town in TExas where men have to carry a gun. Naturally there is zero crime or violence in the town and its bars.

No, serious. This is what was told me. When you have 30 armed citizens in the room you arent going to get one dick head acting up.

Western logic applied to not-so-western culture. In Israel, these random lunatic murderers have little to no chance of surviving an attack but the do it anyway. Your thoughts come from not being brought up with the concept of seeking martyrdom. By now, everyone's seen pictures of Palestinian/Iranian/etc. kids dressed up in suicide vests for various occasions. It's cultural and thus psychological.
Add to that the concept that it may not be a knife or gun, but as the terrorists figured out, a motor vehicle - and if they pick a lonelier area (instead of crowded city streets) you'd find the run-down gun-carriers decomposing on their weapons.
Rethink your strategy.
The one and only defense is to attack those that send them so they fear for their own lives (the leaders never seem to martyr themselves). Drones. Assassins. Even the odd Cruise Missile (this will make them unwelcome in their neighborhood).
For the terrorist 'leaders': bring the war home to them with a vengeance.
