I still have his attempt at telepathy archived at my website,
though I need to put a link from my frontpage thereon. (In
fact, I really need to redo the entire website.)

Basically, I developed a Gtk applet/servlet/somethinglet thing that
sat on my panel (bottom of the desktop in Gnome), containing a random
20-digit number.

Somehow, |-|erc counted it as a victory after missing 5 out of
10 guesses on the first digit (which was actually a 1). I had
to give up because of a 2.2 => 2.4 kernel switchover (I'm not
entirely sure what I did now).

If it is a victory, it's a Pyrrhic one.
