Shibboleet The Annihilator

Christmas was 3 days of visiting family and watching my kid get way too many gifts. My bedroom is now almost completely filled with empty boxes awaiting to be recycled after being used as the most epic fort my boy has ever seen.

I got some very warm clothes, miscellaneous items, gift cards, checks, a serious dent in my pocketbook, some X-mas sex and the beginnings of a gut.

I got a bunch of clothes, Scribblenauts and the Modern Marvels: Engineering Disaster box set.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the game where you write just about any word down on the screen and it pops into gameplay? If so, how is it? I was thinking about getting it, but I can imagine the mechanics being a little wonky.

As far as gifts, I received my first computer ever  :fap:.

Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

Probably by consulting orishas.  Or perhaps they just guess.

Because only anally conceived babies are gay.

What Cain got for Xmas:

A passport cover, with my initials engraved into it.  Unfortunately British, but never mind.

Toiletries from Molton Brown
A bottle of Baileys, because at this time of year, I like to add Baileys to my coffee.

I'm actually pretty easy to buy for.

I couldn't find any of the above as e-books.  Besides, when you have over 30,000, whats a few more?

I envy your collection. :argh!:

Cain

Those are all ebooks, I should point out.  Probably more than a few duplicates and duds in there, as well.  But as a rough number, it works. 

All easily obtained too.  I can PM you with a small list of sites, if you want?

Triple Zero

One of my many side projects is building a rough full text search application that scans all the ebooks on my HD and inserts the results in a column automatically right next to my google results. It will take some time before it's finished (if ever) but if I do, I'll be sure to pass it to you, Cain. The basic idea is not to be able to text-search the books themselves, but mainly to get a rough idea of which books in your collection contain subjects similar to whatever you happen to be googling at that moment. Cause yeah there''s no way I'm even going to open all of those books, probably.

INFORMATION SO POWERFUL, YOU ACTUALLY NEED LESS.

Holy shit, that is software that I would actually pay for.

Let me know if you ever finish it?
