Oddly reminiscent of what ALS is like.

might be cool to see blood coursing through your veins, or the contents of your stomach on your iPhone :)

Sprinkle vision on the wind,
like grains of sand I see.
motes of thought they drift and float,
and bring my data back to me.

It's rough, I feel for you.

Make sure you take breaks away every now and then, that was always the hard part.

Do you have someone who can help? I'd be happy to help research nonprofits in your area that might offer day services to let you go out and recharge.

My family and I took care of my father-in-law as he declined and eventually succumbed to ALS in 2004. Every tiny act was monumental, even going out and getting a haircut, or a shaving him, or eating.

I can tell you that motor is the ONLY thing that goes. Pain stays, mental function stays, it is a pretty hellish existance for the sufferer. And something they could do just fine today - gone tomorrow... no predictability to it. And then there are painful muscle spasms as things go wrong. until they finally aren't able to breathe any more and die. I'm glad the mentioned coder was able to find a way to keep going, and put their mark on things.

The main medication at the time (@ $900 a pill), only worked for 18 months at which point your symptoms would be identical to as if you didn't take it - so it slowed things down enough to buy you time to get your affairs in order, and then all the progression caught back up. I don't know about current meds.

What's bothered me is that there is VERY little understanding of the disease, and how you get it - there are risk factors (being in a war is one, so is eating bats in guam). The VA had a HUGE list of questions that sounded like they were just grasping at statistical straws.

But you can interface directly with C libraries for stuff not suited to Erlang, and then do the Erlang for the messaging and coordination.

He mentioned that certain common weeds would "die-back" to the ground - so they looked dead, but they would spring up later with several stalks, much thicker in the base each time. He and several others would then go back to monsanto, who said it was impossible - until shown the weeds. Monstanto would pay to spray again, and then brought out again to redo the spraying. Roundup, hopefully, will become a

The funny thing is that a local guy I know has an organic farm, with very few problems due to his use of teenagers working in the fields - once taught to recognize the plants from the weeds, they do a great job.

Maybe if the languages accepted are functional, and therefore logically provable without side-effects.

So the question is - is there buried obfiscated code - wow, look how open this is, hiding more malicious stuff in slightly more complex layers

Accuracy will suck, even with a trained human.

Hence a running joke in the Deaf community about the saleswoman peddling beauty aids with "Olive Juice". (it lipreads as "I love you" ) I believe it was a "sunshine II" skit. Yeah, I was an interpreter for like 10 years.

Miyamoto Musashi established this phenomenon quite well in 1645. Book of five rings.

Feudal Japan called, they want their news back.

I can feel my lungs beginning to itch, ahhh Silicosis - how nice that EVERYTHING will be covered in a fine layer of silicon that *WILL* wear away and add some lovely fine powdered glass to my daily breathing.

Sun.. not sub.

That was my totally favorite upgrade in Mail Order Monsters - recharge from the sub!

Wonder if they applied for a patent before April 22, 2004 ?
