newcf··on Solving: Wordscapes with Python
My wife got my hook on the game wordscapes on our iPhones.

I will continue to play without this program, but, I figured it would be really easy to 'beat' the game with a quick python program.

The key is two python libraries: PyEnchant (relies on the Enchant C library) and 'itertools' from the Python standard library.

newcf··on Just how much is that 2% really worth?
Unfortunately I can't... lots of people "didn't" do too well, since it was a little early exit.. I was in early enough that I did well..

I got taught the various levels of FU (f*ck you) money...

Here are the responses available, when dealing with a pain in the ass at work:

Level 1) FU, I don't have to work here.. but I should probably find a job in the sometime near future.. like.. the next year

Level 2) FU, I don't have to work here.. or anywhere. I'm out

Level 3) FU, I don't have to work here.. or anywhere... I'm going to my yacht.

I got level 1 ;)

OH, and TOTALLY have the startup bug.. I got lucky with a ton of blessings on the first one... I know it doesn't happen often.. but apparently it happens

Ha! I hear you.. beach is good.... it was a truckload,not a boatload? :) I still have to work, but , you know.... I can do what I want when I want.. ok... I need to stop getting braggy.. sorry ...

Yeah, I think it was with the equity addition.... Once I did that, my delta went in the negative, and it would have beeen better to stay corporate ;)

I'm not entirely sure the calculations work.. Maybe I entered data wrong, but I was trying to model the acquisition/startup that I just went through. with our numbers, and our dollars, and my shares.... I walked with a heckuva lot of money, but that's not what the site said.
