Well, I was musing over memories of threads past, and I remembered Darkstorme's "How Addicted to Layo are you?" poll. As much as I loved him for that, it really got me thinking on one point...
One of the options was "I wrote a chron script to check the forums and beep when there was a new post."
As you've likely guessed at this point, I was wondering if there was any way to do that. *Laughs helplessly.* Gods, I'm terrible. But serious.
Because, honestly, I'm not up for the surgery that a neural implant would take. @.@
