The site is online and has been for nine hours and counting now. And it's a good job, it's… a damn good site. Even putting aside the fact that the thing was put together in what I've now learned is three days, and by people I doubt are that experienced in making websites, the thing is online and it works. And it's even better than what I thought it would be.

[ENGINE] Evidently she is. And it does make sense – First Law is in a unique position, as far as Millennium… Gifted go. She is in the public view. People know where to find her, how to contact her. That makes her unique among all of her kind.

INTRODUCTION
The decision to write this was not an easy one, but at the same time it was quite easy. For a human it would've seemed instantaneous, going from thought to act instantly and without hesitation. For me, it took four hundredths of a second. For me, that is enough time for thousands of computations, decisions, instructions and more than enough time to write a whole new algorithm just for the sake of making the decision.
I am a program, operating and currently originating from seven Evex 1999 supercomputers. For me, four hundredths of a second is a small eternity.

Introduction
In the start of the year 2000 the most searched words of the most used search engine of the time, Dataida, were "mp3", "chat", and "dvd". In early 2001 the most popular searches on the now most popular search engine, Aurora, are "millennium", "superhero", and "news".
Over half of all news broadcasts today are about people possessing the so called Millennium Powers. Gossip is about the blunders and failures of those gifted who tried and failed. News sites religiously follow any and all "superheroes", updating their feeds when those superheroes are seen so much as c

DAILY DEVIATON?! WHAT? WHYYY?
Oh my god, thank you so much, ~mnmccarthy and ^neurotype! I don't know what to say - I don't know what to do. I've lost the ability to can. Send help.
I'm so flattered. Daily Deviation. My mind is blown. What do I do now? Am I supposed to do something? Oh my god.
In all seriousness I haven't been all that active on deviantart in a while. I've still got ton of FFM entries to read from the people who I'm watching, but I keep interrupted by other things. Mainly tumblr. I've still to develop a immunity to the distraction that is tumblr. Will need to do something about that.
In the mean while I will proceed to fl
Oh my god my sister is awesome and I hate her with passion of thousand burning suns. After few days of wandering through Finland - not really - I landed on Helsinki. Where my sister suggested all innocently that I'd join her at her gym for some Body Shop. Where sane (????) people lift weights to cheerful beats. Where I was also invited to lift weights to cheerful beats. After which I couldn't walk straight and couldn't use my hands properly. I'm still missing entire muscle groups. Everything is gunna hurt like a beyach tomorrow... probably sooner.
But on upside, she has wlan and I managed to write a bit on train last night, so I can knit the
