After 5 years, I finally finished a project that involves an international collection of postal codes. I finally acquired the postal codes from all nations that had them readily available.

Congrats, it feels good to complete a project like that doesn't it? I'll be completing my state quarter collection this year, I think.

Nice going, Tim. I had to laugh thinking about the reaction you'd get if you posted that to anybody except your fellow aspies.

Nifty.

Now I'll know who to go to if I need to fake an address in a random foreign country. ^_^

Wow...

Are you going to post it anywhere?

We aspies with obsessions should start a random information website....maybe.

I have always thought that it would be a cool idea to lock myself up in a room with some of my friends, and give them a notebook to write down things that they know. Then we would pass the notebooks and perhaps something one person said would jog someone elses memory. But it would all be done from memory, no looking anything up!

That's impressive! Congratulations on the completion of your project. Sounds like it must have taken quite some doing.
