I'm not sure what the protocol is for starting a Listener thread, so I hope nobody minds if I leap in. I thought this was a nice, accesible run around, more an impressive piece of construction than a...
Hello EV N&C Wine Clubbers, If my memory serves me well, this theme appeared in The Speccie not too long ago, so the training was useful. The second, but unrelated theme added weight to the...
