After a really long development time (too long, with 6 months where I didn't even touch the code), neThing v0.7 has been completed and released. You can view the changelog to see the changes.

I have been developing the back-end for in deep thought for a long time now and I think the time has come for it to evolve into an actual web site package. To that end I have named the package neThing. That doesn't change anything about the site itself. It is still called in deep thought and nothing has really changed except at the bottom it now reads Powered by neThing. Eventually I'll package neThing for others to use.

Philosophy - What It Is

An address Ayn Rand gave to the graduating class of the United States Military Academy at West Point on March 6, 1974.

What is in deep thought?

• The place where the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is answered.

'''What's the answer?'''

• Among other things, 42.

'''Then what's the question?'''

• We don't exactly know but it's been hinted that part of the question is: What do you get when you multiply six by nine?

'''Doesn't six times nine equal 54?'''

• We did say it was only part of the question.

'''Shouldn't the correct question be: What do you get when you multiply six by seven?'''

• We don't think that's a very good question.

'''Doesn't it clearly fit the answer 42?'''

• 42 is only part of the answer so we think six times nine is a perfectly good part of the question of life, the universe, and everything.

'''Ok... but who's we?'''

• Um just me and my web site.

Your weird.

• Hey this is a PAQ, let's keep it to questions and answers.

'''What's a PAQ?'''

• Potentially Asked Question.

Why a PAQ and not a FAQ?

• Well, no one seemes to be actualy asking us these questions but we are pretty sure they want to.

'''What can I do if I don't like this site or for some reason am offended by it?'''

• Leave or get bent.

Ok... uh, so who are you?

• I'm just this guy, you know? I have alot of interests. It's a bit chaotic, but that's what this place is about.
