* IronTomato laments the excessively small size of his Internet

Nah.
Most of people don't notice huge, HUGE, HUEG amounts of internet because a lot of it is "national" ones. Russians have their small internet microcosmos, Poles spread Polishness everywhere, Germans sit on their specialized tightly locked forums and have insanely detailed talks (seriously, if you ever wanted some technical data on anything, go ask German internet) and so on. Then there is English internet which is basically one huge shitstorm of culture.
And honestly, the reason why one might think that internet is smaller than it is in reality is because you usually hang out at places of similar interests as yours and there is a high chance that other people you know might also end up in the same places because they also enjoy the same things as you.

It's less national and more language-based. The more language you speak, the wider your range of the internet.

for the record, dutch internet is hardly worth it

Those German specialized forums (WHERE ELSE I WOULD GET ALL THE INFO ABOUT WW2 EQUIPMENT, UGH) are the only reason I ever wanted to learn to properly speak German. I can understand Russian quite a bit already as it's mostly a matter of comperhending other alphabet for me since most of the time Russian seems like a really outdated phonetical version of Polish with some weird words there and there.
English is English.
As far as Polish internet goes, it's... uh... Winged Hussars. It's all Winged Hussars.

Damn, did the teacher ever blow through today's Maya lesson quick. Like 20 min out of a 2hr class, and if you weren't keeping up you are fucked until the lesson is put online in a few days from now.

Did some wizardry where he outlined an image of a sword and it just popped into 3d, but I am shit out of luck in even making one for homework until he actually writes down how to do it.

Greiger: How goes the job search?

Reasonable.  A few places are still hiring that I was hoping would be.  Amazon and a place I hear secondhand does customer support for xbox.

And I was able to put in an application at an old office job that I enjoyed and was almost always top of my team in.  A little computer knowledge at a data entry position goes a long way.  It's amazing how many people who do repetitive (mostly the same info with only one or two values changing between documents) data entry for a living that don't know how to use the software's built in Macro function.

So I just installed dwarf fortress, as after Toady made 64 bit version, stuff started working on notebook!

Went around some mountain dome as demigod swordsman. Started to slaughter everything I see, after like 56 kills, I have found out, that lord promoted me to the position of the hammerer( is not it like dude performing justice?)

Eghhh, so randomly murdering  56 people gets you into law enforcement in dwarf culture?

You're probably one of the few eligible adult members of the fortress left. The game picks at random from everyone eligible in cases like that where there's no other selection criteria.

And committing murder doesn't make you innelligible!

Sir, the hammerer has died.  We need to appoint a new one to deal with the mass murderer.
Overseer: I see, ah here's someone with excellent combat skills, I appoint them.
But sir...that's....

Probably the safest way to deal with it to be honest.  Maybe the newly found responsibility and status will stop his murder spree.
