nature works was fascinating. Science fiction felt like a grand
adventure.

Then I started a software company and poured every ounce of energy
into it. It failed. That hurt, but that part is ok. I made a lot of
mistakes and learned from them. This experience made me much, much

# It prints all cell phone call + SMS message + MMS records, plus a summary of each.
#
# It also dumps all of the records into CSV files inside a 'CSV' folder, that is created
