Hey, I'm a trained musician and sometimes novelist who develops software on the side, and the primary reasons @Larry absorbed me are that: 1) I transcribe conversations faster than anyone else on the team 2) I had a working keycard to O'Reilly's Tarsier meeting room in Sebastopol and the reason I keep working on this stuff is: 3) I'm some combination of too stubborn or too stupid not to keep working on it All it takes to make a contribution is a fraction of my stupid or my stubborn plus some spare time. -- c
