To try to implement "thread priorities". I would like to use  
continuations instead of threads and pick the next continuation to  
run based on how much time it has to responde to the poker server.

Amused yes, amazed no. The code does not save a continuation after  
requesting each integer and does not allow me to call/cc it saved  
continuation with an integer of my choice.

This is pretty much what I'm looking for: http://lisp.tech.coop/Web%
