/* This piece is perhaps the closest reflection to who I am. I used to be
much lazier person. But in recent years I have found that I have developed
quite a strong work ethic and I've asked myself why that is. The reasons
I have found are somewhat disturbing. I find death, or the concept of death,
to be a powerful motivational force. It seems that all people, including myself,
are in a way working to avoid death, trying to rise above it, or simply
overworking to supress a fear of death. My insecurities also act as a motivation.
I find that I work hard to try and surpass my ineffiencies and shortcomings.
Thus I've developed into somehat of a workaholic, and as such, I often catch
myself constantly checking the time. It's often hard for me to understand that
checking the time doesn't make my work any better. So I wanted to develop
a clock that instead of giving me the time, scolds me for wasting it.
I simply type "what time is it" and the computer provides a mocking reply based
on what the minute is at that moment. Major thanks to Greg Batha for helping
me to solve the time refresh issue.

dang dougal, this is crazy, i’m really impressed.
my only suggestion would be to code the backspace button, but that’s just because i am not so skilled at the typing
