My mother always said that "intelligent people never get bored". But apparently successful people do, they just keep going even then.

    Good luck on that. I did it last year, successfully, and it was worth it. Granted, I had no social life and finished with only 6 hours to spare, but still.

    For me it was a pretty spontanious decision that I made in mid-October, so there isn't really much time for preparation. It's set in a fictional world that I've been building just for fun for some years but there is so much I still need to do.

    My decision came four days before the start, when the idea suddenly developed overnight. But I saved time by setting it in this world, in a place I know.

#Security weirdness of the day: I followed a link to #Instagram, and it told me they'd noticed an unusual login.

If only the sun flares in my photos were this impressive. Originally shared by Astronomy Picture of the Day (APoD) A Solar Filament Erupts Image Credit: NASA 's GSFC, SDO AIA Team https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap180916.html What's happened to our Sun? Nothing very unusual -- it just threw a filament. Toward the middle of 2012, a long standing solar filament suddenly erupted into space producing an energetic Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The filament had been held up for days by the Sun's ever changing magnetic field and the timing of the eruption was unexpected. Watched closely by the Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory, the resulting explosion shot electrons and ions into the Solar System, some of which arrived at Earth three days later and impacted Earth's magnetosphere, causing visible aurorae. Loops of plasma surrounding an active region can be seen above the erupting filament in the featured ultraviolet image. Although the Sun is now in a relatively inactive state ...
