Wow!

I didn't have enough to study (ha!) so I started two courses on Udacity.com.  We're working on regular expressions, a topic I have heard a lot about but never really learned before.  Wow!!  I don't want to waste any more time posting, so I'll get back to studying.

Wow!

The Wonders of Modern (?) Technology

I've already complained a bit about Wally, my ancient little G4 iBook with half the keys missing.  It makes working on the projects on CodeYear more than a little challenging, so I decided today to try spending a little time on the site at our local libarary.  My local library is absolutely awesome: great collection, great inter-library borrowing and holds system, tons of fairly good computers.

Computers that only run IE 8, which won't run CodeYear.

sigh...
