I made it through most of the first book. But I had borrowed the series
from a guy and he made me give it back before finishing. Probably could
grab it from the UAF library if I get around to it.

In my nightmares, maybe. Admittedly, I'm not sure if that would be
better or worse than what I'm doing now, i.e., Django programming.

I was thinking about secretly embedding a lisp interpreter one of our
Django applications. (I've heard it isn't very hard.) But I'm not sure
how long I would get away with it before the project manager found out.
