Atlas Shrugged Chapter 10: Wyatt’s Torch

Posted on June 29, 2010 by Clio Corvid / 0 Comment

One reason I wanted to post (if possible) after each chapter was that I figured it would keep me motivated to keep reading if there were evidence of my progress...

Atlas Shrugged Chapter 9: The Sacred and the Profane

Posted on June 29, 2010 by Clio Corvid / 0 Comment

Atlas Shrugged: Reassessment #1

Atlas Shrugged Chapter 8: The John Galt Line

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Clio Corvid / 0 Comment

Posted on June 23, 2010 by Clio Corvid / 0 Comment

What a whiny chapter. More after the summary. Chapter summary: It’s Dagny and Hank against the world. Dagny oversees the construction of the rail line. Th...

Battleships: Adding undo, autosolve, and a toolbar

Posted on June 23, 2010 by Clio Corvid / 0 Comment

Atlas Shrugged Chapter 6: The Non-Commercial

Posted on June 21, 2010 by Clio Corvid / 0 Comment
