// 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
