+// never tricker quickly but also want to print something
+// out that the app is alive since, technically
+// the GUI is *NOT* this app and could be alive when
+// the application is actually stalled somewhere
+// plus these things are fun for me and a distraction when
+// I've been working 50 days in a row on this gui code
+
+// this also means that if you click the checkbox after
+// the delay, then the scan will run right away, but if
+// you check the checkbox twice in 5 seconds, it won't
+// rerun until the delay again
