Giles' blog Writing the post that I wished I'd found when I started learning whatever it was... This is less in the interest of disclosure, more to provide a snapshot of what I'm doing right now so that I can revisit it in the future and see how it changes. And hey, maybe it'll be of interest to you, dear readers.
