I found one not-completely-horrible strategy was just blindly running round the curser keys.. eg. up - right - down - left, repeatedly. Got near 4000 points with that.. Great game though - wasted waaay too much time last night playing.

I believe it was Aldous Huxley who, on his death-bed, requested a mixture of LSD and Opiates to leave this world by. Frankly, I applaud that kind of thinking. EDIT: My apologies, I did not see dns's comment below, saying the same thing

In my first Rails job, I was handed a copy of this book to read. I would agree with your comments, although I cannot speak for the Ruby Community as such. Well worth reading.

Check out meta's spaceglasses. They look a bit "aviator", but I'm keen to get hold of some. Plenty of potential.. plus some serious domain knowledge behind them (e.g Prof Steve Mann).

IIRC, the Prodigy's Liam claimed to have written one album in bed using Propellorheads' Reason (then moved to the studio to finish off in pro-tools). I know I've done stuff just point and click on the train home from work in
