I am ceasing the development of akide and everything. I've published my latest developments of akide because it is developed with DWT and contains (in my opinion) some fresh ideas, so maybe it could be useful for someone.

Maybe, just maybe, you could contribute to, say, Poseidon, or another one (no matter which but we should peek one). IMHO we should unite our strengths to make a success in the field. There's more than one project for the same thing and everyone of them lacks features and are in beta (and will be unfinished and abandoned eventually). D community is still small to be so disperse.

Go to his site to find out why. I feel for bobef. He's thinking about things that people rarely want to think about. My hope is that his search leads him to the right path (I believe there is only one). There are many "answers" in this world that do not satisfy the question. The task is not easy and few are sensitive to it. -JJR

Luckily I believe I'm very sensitive to this and I suffer for the people (beloved people) who doesn't even do the slightest effort to see beyond their noses, hence they doesn't share my philosophy of life. I've learned to live with that but I've certainly not lose my sensitiveness. Sorry about the possible ambiguity in the former paragraph but it's very difficult to me to express deep thoughts in English (since Spanish is my everyday language) :) Tom;

I could say much more simpler way but it wouldn't be so correct (also it is still true). The coding has been addiction for me and addictions are bad.

Trading one addiction for another is rarely a good idea. The cold hard fact of the matter is that the only way to trully break an addiction of any kind is through personal effort mixed with blood, sweat, and tears. Without a will to win, there is no winning. That's why addictions are so horrid for us humans: they tend to pick on the weakest part of our natures. There /is/ a way out, though. Besides, I don't think coding addiction can ever be trully cured. Does anybody here know of a successful case? ;) -JJR

I think that mind programing is like ordinary programing some use brute force others use a smart algorithm. I prefers to use vipassana meditation myself. See http://www.dhamma.org/

A so called "smart algorithm" may work once here and there, but in the long run, you have to change your way of thinking; you have to change yourself, and it's not easy. Taking a medication is like letting another guy do your homework for you; it may get you an A for this assignment, but you'll get an F on the final if you continue on with this "lazy" mentality. Think about it. If you take a medication, and you think that's the only thing that you need to do, it's like saying .. I have this guy who's gonna always do my homework for me. It's a mentality of laziness. The only way to truely change yourself is to fight it, to strugle and wrestle yourself into becoming a better, stronger person. That's the only way to take control of yourself and your life. This includes talking to yourself and your "subcounciousness", which may include meditation, etc. But in the end, it's got to be "through personal effort mixed with blood, sweat, and tears." -Hasan

I don't know whether John knows this or not, but being a paramedic probably helps know more about such subjects than me.

One wise guy told me once that real man have only two real joys in his life: love and creativity. Probably bobef went for first one? But frequently people think that they contradict each other ... which is just wrong, IMO. BTW: this guy spent four months orbiting this ball - he got some time to study idea of eternity and the like.

I read that you consider programming an addiction. I struggled with this idea when I was a teenager, so perhaps I can relate somewhat. I also gave up programming for long periods of time. In retrospect, I believe that this was not the right thing to do. Programming addiction is not like addiction to alcohol or drugs. Substance abuse like that is never productive or helpful. There are some behaviors that are necessary and yet tend to be addictive, because of the pleasure involved. Like for example eating and sex. These behaviors are very pleasurable, but for a good reason. If these pleasurable urges were not in place, we would probably not be here today. People that don't eat, die. Creatures that don't procreate become extinct. However, overeating and sexual addiction are not productive. But that does not mean we should stop eating or stop having sex if we find ourselves "addicted". The most ideal and perhaps most difficult path to take is the path of moderation. We must find the balance in our lives that achieves the greatest level of happiness and productivity for ourselves, those in our sphere of influence, and our posterity. The capacity to program is a gift, not a disease. I hope my words do not fall on deaf ears. Bobef, we all appreciate your contributions to computer science. Please do not give up. -Craig
