Adding "Before filing, alter the form so that it reflects a Bureaucracy of Desire rather than a bureaucracy," to this task made it well-nigh incomprehensible.
There are some things I just don't understand, I suppose...?
I call this serendipity at its finest.
I didn't even know you did this, but I do remember you talking about that pick before. I'm glad you found it (and in such a wonderfully task-completing sorta way, too!).
[Yes, I know it's a little late for commentary...but I wrote this Sunday and wanted to post it, I just haven't had time until now...]
Bubblesort, sir, I am in awe of what you've accomplished.
Yes, I know, there are going to be those that will say my opinion is biased -- being that you listed as a friend on my "relations page". However, upon seeing the duel completions posted, I was determined to read them both, twice, and mull them over before deciding which one would get my vote.
The sheer complexity of your completion -- not to mention the number of tasks performed simultaneously -- weighed heavily in my decision-making process.
I'm going to comment on the documentation you presented. I hear the voices that claim you could have posted more detailed, clearer documentation, but AFAIK how one documents task completions is a matter of personal preference (which, I'll admit, means that those that wish highly-detailed completion documentation are just as correct as those that desire any other level of detail in documentation...personal preference being a subjective standard, after all). I'm a Network Engineer, and have been for over a decade. I am no stranger to documentation is many forms, and I'm of the mind that good documentation is succinct: include only what is necessary to communicate what is being done/was done/needs to be done; or, how to do something...and then shut the hell up. Sean's proof is an excellent narrative -- he tells a good story and has a commanding grasp of the English language and puts it to good use -- but by my standard of "good documentation" there is a certain amount of extraneous information that documenting the proof did not require (IMHO).
I have several little sayings that I keep in my brain that sometimes help me get through the day. One of those sayings is, "Always outnumbered, never outgunned." I'd like to apply it to this duel as I see it. You both did fine work. You both created something on a grand scale, and you both certainly multi-tasked. However, to create an analogy that fits with my saying, Sean showed up to the duel with a Colt 1911A1 .45ACP semi-automatic pistol. A fine weapon -- some consider it to still be amongst the best ever made, a perfect balance of size, weight, dependability and stopping power. All in all, a fine choice for a duel. You, however, showed up with an Atchisson AA-12 fully-automatic assault shotgun. In this case, Sean was both outnumbered (by number of tasked completed) and outgunned (by the sheer magnitude of putting all those tasks together into a cohesive whole).
A fine job, sir. Well done to both of you -- but only you got my vote.
I particularly like that the stick figure is saying, "Oh Noes!". :)
I must admit that pic is completely ass-tastic.
Oh, wait, I've already commented on this one. WHY AM I LOOKING AT THIS COMPLETION AGAIN?
...oh, yeah. ass-tastic. right.
