Oh, my.  I don't *think* I'm Alan Gauld!  Alan?  Are you out there?  Or
am I suffering yet another identity crisis?  And if I get an answer,
what does that mean?  Schizophrenics *often* have auditory
hallucinations. ...

;-)  Quotidian-details-time:  Ivan Van Laningham is the author of _Teach
Yourself Python in 24 Hours_.  Alan Gauld wrote an excellent tutorial,
which can be found at

Alan is also writing a beginning programming book for Addison-Wesley, to
which I am looking forward, although Alan says it probably won't be
ready before the end of the year.  (Alan?  Please correct me if I've
over-/under-/mis-stated.)
