You're lucky that I can tape it for you to watch later.." Next up... walking to school, up a hill, in waist high snow, while wearing sandals. Both ways.

Next month I will be starting on a VJ application for live performance and there is a good chance I will be using HYPE for this!! Thanks for putting it open source. Best, Jankees Hi Branden,

I have never been taught programming (my background is music technology), so much of what I know has been learned this way (shin banging). However, there is another aspect of learning this stuff, which is 'blind reverse engineering'. I learned Autotools this way -- starting with someone's open source build configuration and tweaking around until it worked the way I wanted, not really understanding what I was doing. Understanding came later as I needed to go deeper and write my own scripts. Interesting post.

My first run of posting experiments and code online was when i was learning this web stuff. The next wave was writing when I was finding myself repeating what I was saying in multiple venues anyway or working through ways to explain technology to others. Then I was busy "doing" and didn't have much that I thought was new or that needed to be gotten down on 'paper' or that other bloggers were doing much better jobs at linking or talking about current events so things went silent. Somewhere over time I realized that I was perfectly ok with my site reflecting these waves and being the kind of outlet I needed it to be at the moment. Now between learning photography, trying to keep up with html5 & css3 and starting a small teaching gig I've been dwelling on things that might be worth sharing and that's what's brought things on the site back to "life" even if its a little bit skitzo and irregular at times. Looking forward to seeing you writing about what's interesting to you and driving you into the open again. I feel yah, and I’ve seen this in myself [though I haven't wiped anything clean].
