# Dedication

For the second time in my life I’m using Carrom as a therapy, to fight against blue times. It works great!

SoL is partially due to Joseph Leaded, an illiterate owner of a local software house, who fired me after more than ten years of collaboration and commitment on my part, stealing my work without paying a dime for the last seven months. Without his rudeness I’d be still injuring my brain writing silly Delphi apps on Window$. I had to take a vacancy, to enjoy again the art of programming.

Seriously, I dedicate this work to my brother Fausto, who is surely building perfect Carrom boards and teaching good shots in his निर्वाण: without him, neither Scarry nor SoL would have been written.

## Acknowledgements

I wanna say “Thank you!” to the various communities that made this project easier and delightful:

Python
  Simple things are simple, difficult ones are possible. With joy!
SQLAlchemy
  Using relational databases at their full strength with a breeze of fresh air.
Pyramid
  Programming for the web tends to tediousness... without a good and versatile framework.
ExtJS
  I’m constantly surprised seeing how effective may be a fullfledged GUI inside a (good) web browser.
SCR
  Good friends are a good thing!
