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.
