After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, French archaeologists found traces of copper wire dating back 1,000 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors had a telephone network all those centuries ago.
Not to be outdone by the French, English archaeologists dug to a depth of 20 meters and shortly after headlines in the U.K. newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found traces of 2,000-year-old fiber-optic cable and have concluded that their ancestors had an advanced high-tech digital communications network a thousand years earlier than the French."
One week later, Israeli newspapers reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in a Jerusalem marketplace, archaeologists had found absolutely nothing. They, therefore, concluded that 3,000 years ago the Israelites were already using wireless technology."

But I'm sure a U.S. version could be added in which the diggers are sued for destroying a critical communications link.

The link doesn't work. A search on the title of the message you referenced ("Stupid JOTD") found a message from 29-Feb-2012. We should, IMO, have a Statute of Limitations on Leslies. 
I agree re the U.S. version, but that would violate the "Rule of three" in humour.
EDIT: Statute of Limitations

The link works for me.
The older post of course references older civilizations, as it should.

Neither works for me

The deadline got pushed out again. Normally that's a good thing, but I front loaded all of my work and worked myself hard to get it done early because of anxiety, when I could have easily dragged it out, even before the deadline got extended.
So now I am just trying to kill time and frankly, I have too much of it at the moment. I'm turning into a gamer, but I'm not really enjoying it.

Being on time is everything to me. I lose sleep when I miss deadlines. Every moment in overtime is anxiety for me, and I live with anxiety all the time anyway. I don't need more, so I don't miss deadlines.
Also, all my work is contract based. I have a business that it all funnels through and with that comes estimates and deadlines. I meet those deadlines or it's my reputation and as I alluded to - my sleep that suffers.
I've tried to depersonalize my projects, and I think I've done a decent job of doing so, but overall I do take pride in doing my best work, and it's important to me.
Sometimes though, all of the above can result in situations like this. It still beats being late.
It's just all the empty time to fill in "workday" now. I'll muddle through, I'd just rather be working.

I hate when it happens. I usually let deadlines go by without a care in the world knowing that most of the times they are ephemeral, but if a deadline is sold to me as super-critical, I work my arse off to meet it and then it's pushed I get royally pissed.

I want to create a program for Astronomical Ephemeris, but I don't know much about it.
My real intention is to understand this software astrolog at this
Any recommendations on some quick tutorials on this topic?

I used to use this one, might give you an idea of what's involved.

Stellarium (stellarium.org) has an observability plugin you might be interested in. I haven't used it, so cannot comment further.

I regularly use Stellarium from Portable Apps website. It is pretty straight forward but user interface is a little difficult at first. When you initially run it, it starts slow but be patient. When it first comes up it will be full screen. If move the mouse to bottom of window a popup will display some options.
Move cursor all the way to left corner. Another vertical menu will pop up. Select the top of the menu to get to the location specification interface. It's tricky, but you can enter your location by city name.
Move cursor to bottom again, horizontal menu comes up. On the right is date and time scroll buttons.
It's a great tool. And I have confirmed its star and moon locations by going outside and observing them.
To end the program hit the power button on far right of lower horizontal menu.

If you have a tracking telescope, Stellarium can control it for you. It is extremely powerful, and good enough for archaeoastronomy work. You can see some of it's archaeoastronomy abilities in the 'Our Forgotten Astronomy' link in my signature, if you are interested in such endeavors.

I do not have a tracking telescope. Glad that Stellarium has such a feature. I have listened to some of your lectures about history, astronomy and religion. Pretty complicated but interesting about the links.
Funny how the stars and our lives can get intermixed. I remember seeing Haley's comet "many moons ago", one of my favorite expressions.
Thanx
