    I won't have it any other way. The "not starving to death" thing is a bit of an issue on the way there... Well, I have savings, but... And if I get a horrid job, then I won't have …

    Aww... Thanks! My pleasure! All from scratch, designed for nothing but readability. I am building textbooks on the same code, so the blog is a great stress and user test.
