    I have Sleep Apnea, use CPAP daily since about 6 years now and it has been a life-changing experience. Sucks to have been sleepy and tired for all the years I can remember. Can you…

    Ha! I agree Ruby is probably weirder, even though I love it. It's going to be Webdev with Flask. This is another vote for Python The Hard Way - will take a look at it, and get some…

    The problem is that this is what BofA considers 'historic' data (older than 18 months, I think). Only PDF statements are available. And the text is encoded as well, which means I c…
