Now I realize that I’m starting to look at C programmers the same way.  “Thank goodness you like that stuff.  Now I can concentrate on solving real problems with Python.”

I guess I’m just a “top of the stack” kind of guy.  Shoulders of giants and all that.

Plus, I was finally able to use my POVRay “skills” for the header image.

And just in case you were curious, WordPress 2.5 rocks!

Just a little less cool.

But now I’m about to embark on the upgrade to WordPress 2.5 and figured that’s as good a time as any to get back into blogging gumption.   So, please pardon the mess while I try out some new themes and plugins.

Hopefully more interesting posts will follow.
