I'm an Open University Student studying for a BSc Computing. I live in Lymm, just south of Warrington, in the North West of England with my wife Carole. I spend a lot of time wondering why the world can't be a nicer place: and then I get on with writing a program or producing a website.

Aha! Book arrived.

Poor postman: he arrived this morning with two parcels from Amazon for me...

The first was a comparatively light one containing a USB soundcard that I've picked up so I can use Lyceum (for L196 Croeso: beginning Welsh) without having to sit under the desk!

The second, however, is much more interesting --- and decidedly heavier --- Processing by everyones favourite author Ira Greenberg. Oh yes!

I hadn't realised it was a hardback, nice presentation and good print quality.... oh, I'd better get reading before everyone picks the best chunks!

Book ordered...

I hope Ira Greenberg is appreciating all the extra copies of the book that are being sold for this project!

I've ordered Amazon.co.uk's last copy... it should be with me on Tuesday. Then I'll put aside my Ruby on Rails books for a while and get stuck into Processing.

Having looked through the chunks, I rather fancy trying quite a few of them, I know I'll have to make a decision before too long, but I'll wait until I've got the book to see the background first.
