I feel your pain. I'm a Jethro Tull fan and I still can't listen to Rupis Dance, four years after Dusty died.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Because inquiring minds want to know, in case you've ever wondered, when you reach Level 100 in Microsoft's Klondike Solitaire, you are awarded the title of "Klondike Grandmaster." Don't ask me how I know that...
Yes, I'm bored.

For something a little different, try the Yukon variation of the game. It is played just like Klondike with one difference : all the cards are dealt out at the beginning. All other rules are the same.

Maybe you could find some volunteer work where you can help someone. You won't be bored and your time will be spent productively.

and a year's supply of Klondike bars?
I don't care about the title, I only care about the ice cream.

Yup, I'm at level 111 for Klondike. 65 for Freecell. Those are my go to card games. I'm learning Spider at the moment, level 7.

Been there, do that regularly Roger. I've got a batch file on my home PC that robocopy /MIR's all of my data to an external hard drive, and the batch file is pinned to the task bar. One click and boom - 5 minutes later the mirror drive is updated. I've gotten into the habit of playing Solitaire during that interval. I've almost become fast enough to win every time within 30 seconds of the batch file finishing.

Does drinking too much coffee cause a latte problems?

you expresso that so well
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

If I do does that make me a Calfein(d)?
It's been 6 months since I joined the gym and there's been no progress. I'm going there tomorrow in person to find out what's really going on!

Personally, I find that drinking too little coffee causes problems.

Wouldn't that cause problems for everyone around you?

Yesterday I got on the idea of learning basic Computer Science things (data structures, algorithms, etc) and I started looking for a book. I become afflicted with this idea every year or so. 
I found all the normal ones like
Introduction to Algorithms (The MIT Press) 3rd Edition, Kindle Edition
by Thomas H. Cormen (Author), Charles E. Leiserson (Author), Ronald L. Rivest (Author), Clifford Stein [^]
But that is way too mathy for me. I like math but I like it to be applied. Anyways, I wanted to really see Big O explained and tied to specific algorithms. I wanted to start out relative simply but not treat me like I'm totally ignorant. I stumbled upon this book from the Pragmatic Programmer publishers...
A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms: Level Up Your Core Programming Skills[^]
I devoured the first 4 chapters and it is amazing. Definitely check this one out. I'm so excited about it. I feel like I'm really putting the concepts together. This one is going into the Top 5 All-time Best books on programming. Seriously up there with Petzold Windows programming.
After reading those first 4 chapters I actually understand what O(1), O(N), O(log N) and O(N^2) mean. I even understand them in relation to algorithms. The author connects them to the algos and shows graphs of time / efficiency and it is absolutely clear and interesting.
