I'm thankful for most of those, too.

I had no idea you'd written a Python book. I'm impressed! Can you write "Ruby for Dummies" next?

Thanks! Probably not...one experiment of "I know, I'll get paid to learn a programming language by writing a book" was worthwhile and I'm glad I did it but it's also enough. :-)
