A Cacophony...of Coding??

Hello again!

Are you concerned about the cacophony of coding I've used for this post's title? Well, there's no need to fear! Underdog is....errr, *ahem....let me explain what I mean there.

The cacophony is totally unrelated to the coding bit. The cacophony is my NEIGHBOR being loud and obnoxious. This is a constant thing, but especially late at night when I'm preparing for sleep.

As for the coding part, that's just me, actually doing some coding. That's right, folks, I'm trying to teach myself Python. And really any sort of computer language that might be of some use in my life. I am currently using Codecademy to learn a few things. The jury is still out on whether or not this site is the shit or not. I'm leaning toward it being the best coding experience I've had to date, though. I shall be posting updates here and there on my progress and the site's pros and cons if you're interested. So far, I dig it. I've done one unit on the fundamentals of Python with lessons that turned out to be 100% enjoyable. However, I have discovered a small glitch. At random times, the 'Run' command yielded no response in the results window. I don't know what it was - browser issue, programming and results windows communication lapse, or internet problem...whatever the case, it wasn't really a deal breaker. I just had to fiddle with it by reloading the page, switching lessons, or hitting the 'Run' command a few times.

It's a little early for bedtime, but I can't stop my eyelids from falling. Sweet dreams, people.
