been watching

Finished my way through yet another L!sp book, while watching a lot of documentaries online on M!ssiles, oil pipelines and jet engines and r0bots for the military (don't ask why...I just am interested in knowing how they work, so those are what I tend to watch :)
I also started the L!sp K0ans. These are fun..I did some in Cl0jure. Essentially, you find your way to "enlightenment" by solving puzzles in the pr0gramming language of your choice (in this case..L!sp). You can edit them in a common editor like N0tepad, and re-run them in your c0mmand line to see if you get them correct. If you do, it pushes you forward to the next lesson. If not, it tells you Error or fail and tells you you've not yet completed. It's a fun way to work through a l@nguage and learn the basics.

 A sample of what it looks like when it's been successfully run in the C0mmand line
 You can also use a REPL; which means Run Edit Print L00p. You can work through the questions and check things you're not sure of, and in that way, if you're completely clueless, learn by doing.
