Speaking of sharing presentations, you might hit up your brother-in-law about that one. His new company, FreeIQ, is in the business of information-sharing, specifically presentations in all forms – video, audio, text, etc. You might think about sharing on FreeIQ.

As far as becoming a better programmer, well, I don’t do a whole lot of programming, but I am trying to become a better learner through my grad school classes. And you are right on target with reading one chapter per week – that is the typical assignment in my grad classes, because it does indeed take all week to get through one chapter when you work the chapter problems and examples. (Trust me – I know – I’m in a statistics class this quarter!)

On the upside for Dougal and I and the downside for you, we are unfortunately preventing you from being a better learner because we forgot to return your CD/DVD portfolio of your lessons. Let us know if you will be in town soon and we can try to get them to you somehow!
