I think I read this article twice, maybe three times. I understood most of it (after the last time). The concepts seem easy enough, it's the execution that I don't exactly get. I'm going to try this when I get home. (I've just gotten a new computer *sigh* I had to give up the pretty MacBook for a not-as-pretty Vaio. The Mac wasn't mine but my mom's, we do computer swapping quite a bit in my family, nonetheless I was still sad to see it go).

I feel pretty confident with my ability to pick things up if I try (and fail miserably a time or two). I'm sure I'll have all sorts of questions, but it sounds like fun to surf around and find new things to get into.
