The thing is growing up again, just found out that I live again with people that keep telling me stuff I don't need to know.
Ok, lets get to work

Beware!
When going for a C implementation for crazy python programs, don't forget to valgrind -v through the whole process. Saves the day!

Graphs, automatons, petri nets, lists and standing your ground.
At first there is this great idea about the guy that pays a hitman to kill him in the future for some obscure reason.
In fact he doesn't want to die.. but he NEEDS this hitman trying to kill him in the future.
And then there are the finite state machines... those are just plain math, reasoning and abstraction; lots of abstraction. I wasn't so much of an advocate of silence but every time I step into some of this things I just can't work while everybody around me are discussing related issues, video cards or whatever the coffee tastes like. No matter how much you like the thing or how able you are to solve the problem but just... you need peace of mind!
Give me a quiet Saturday, nine notebook sheets and half a liter of coffee and we're done!
Then is when you are free to experiment with crazed recursion through some non formal dingbat "resource allocation" lists! What do we have in common between graphs, automatons and petri nets?! They all look great for their didactic examples and initial purposes. Heck! they are awesome! But then again, when you get down to business you'll do some crazed mixed up thing! Colored petri nets? I'm pretty sure that they were someone's hack for their problem.
Regarding your own squared piece of ground in this social-psychological world, it is very easy to note how much size matters. When you get to a totally new environment you start with your 1x sized square as if you were ready to be taken down. To survive and at the same time be something more than an ordinary button pusher you do have to stand your ground and start growing to reach your vital space! Mein Kampf anyone?! HAHA! anyway..
Here I go back to music, coffee, chatting and Sunday things!
