The phone phobia has been worse than ever lately. And I have another big implementation coming up - which means I'll have to be on the phone... with people... humans... every day. <snarl>

I love that show. Mind-bending. So weird - it's awesome.
I like it because the hacks they show are valid. Yes, they compress the time factor a lot, but the techniques they show (even the code snippets) really work.
Not that I would know first hand, of course.

Yes! If memory serves, the show's creators talk about this on the show's podcast and blog. Like you said, they bend it a little - but at least it shows they've done their homework. The speed, with which things unfold (a major network revolution in - what? - under a couple of weeks?) is ju-u-ust off the edge of reality - but you can see it from here.
I also like it that they made no attempt to make the show "pretty" in any way. You know? The main character is an ordinary kid - they didn't make him look like Brad Pitt. The neighborhoods are gritty and dark, with their share of mud, cracked sidewalks, graffiti, and broken lights. It's real. Anyone who was ever young, broke, and living in a shithole can relate.

Yeah well on the down side there are no ice rinks to train on. We might have a slip and slide today though

Agh... that's frustrating. Is everyone ok? Everyone warm and comfortable?
Yes and thanks for asking.
Just limited me and my wife sleeping then add I’m working a 12 hour OT shift today so I’m dragging.
