LOL. Never seen it described quite /that/ way before, but it's... |

interesting! =:^) |

You to, eh? (For me, the dev-manual, etc, and perhaps ultimately, |
| 16 |
Gentoo-dev, is on that list, too.) Well, one thing's for sure, a long |
| 17 |
list /does/ tend to be a decently effective boredom repellent... |
| 18 |
|

What's frustrating is that as one gets older (42 here), it's no longer |
| 20 |
possible to work all day and study/play all nite for 36 hours at a |
| 21 |
stretch, and be effective at both, as it used to be. But the internal |
| 22 |
scheduler doesn't seem to understand that so keeps adding stuff to that |
| 23 |
todo list as if it were! |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So all you youngun's out there, pick it up while you can! Oh, and |
