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

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) :)

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?  ;)

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.

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."

I read that you consider programming an addiction. I struggled with this

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
