Banging away

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>So, I've been studying up on my <span style='font-family:monospace'>python</span> skills lately; completing the track at <a href='http://codeacademy'>http://codeacademy</a> , working through <b>Learn Python the Hard Way</b><b>, </b> and writing some stuff that does some things that I'm interested in having done for me. I'm beginning to study up how to use <span style='font-family:monospace'>quickly</span>(<a href='http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/quickly-workflow/'>http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/quickly-workflow/</a>)as well.<br />My application does some really simple calculations based upon the Solstices and Equinoxes; creating the cross-quarter positions between these. Then it checks today's date and tells you which is the next solar position and how many days until the planet gets there. Fun stuff.<br />I click on the <span style='background:yellow'><span style='font-family:monospace'>Hamster</span></span> task tracker and start working on the problems I am facing and then hours later, I look up and see that time has flown straight passed me. It's amazing.<br /></div>
