Yeah, what I know of it is pretty interesting, though nothing particularly revolutionary about it at this point. I guess the point is to create a stateful session on top of HTTP. This has some interesting implications, but so far I've pretty much been learning more about ASP-type stuff, which is a given considering the general HTML stuff at this point. Sort interested in seeing how it all plays out after an actual expert designer gets their paws on it and I have to convert some of it and start doing the CRUD stuff.
I'm getting better at not typing key-chords in the code, but that Visual Studio is killing me. I'm obviously not in a position to ask if there are any other alternatives, but I think the programming / editing environment will be a huge thing for me when it comes time to look for more work. I hate to sound obnoxious on this subject, but its a matter of not feeling productive and there really is no worse feeling for me when I'm working. To be certain, I don't complain about it, but he knows that I use an editor of some sort because he sees how I get into the zone and forget what I'm doing and ack(!). He noted the situation, asked if I normally use an editor, so when he sees me make a mistake, he sort of laughs it off. I just feel so slooowww right now.

Hey, how do you keep track of all those parenthesis?
HC
It's pretty easy to keep track of. After a few day of working on it, I discovered how easy it is to keep a running count in my head.

I think he knew damn well what he wrote. Those writers come from a pretty wide background and tend to read a ton.
An interesting side-effect of moving to LA is that you begin to see a bunch of interesting local-centric jokes in a ton of shows.

Thanks to you and everyone else for the congrats and stuff. Really mean a lot to me.
The only bummer of it is that I don't have much time to do anything else at this moment. I can read Introduction to Algorithms and do math videos while I'm riding the bus, but my projects are all likely to rot for a bit, which makes me a bit sad.
