Good thing it wasn't important, then! :-)

but I 100% appreciate the detail within it.

In the spirit of

glorious post,

I'm glad my love of (okay, I'll be honest.. obsession with..) typing is benefiting someone!

Should the bug (heh.. bad joke..) ever bite you sufficiently deeply, I highly recommend

Lua.

Just so happens I'm good at lighting matches. ;-)

Lua. Noted. I looked at the "about" page (which I hear good things can come from doing so) and it seems it may be a bit above my blog grade. Mind you, I am a novice (very novice) dev who stumbles through a Ghost software install on my VPS , and still have to take step-by-step notes on PlainText in order to remember how to `cd` into the right file (folder?) to run Ghost updates.

But, should I delve into the world of living The Command Line Life, I will re-examine Lua and see what I can get from it :)

Thank you for the resource, and the word(s) of encouragement.

And I will double-backup what I said about yretek's post - a motto/manifesto all the way.
