Do Something… Even if It’s Wrong!

“By seeking and blundering we learn.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What IS This Anyway?

This is my collection - my eclectic collection - of code, how-to’s, reminders, hints, memory aids, technical crutches, etc, etc, etc. It’s nothing more than that, and may never be useful, helpful or interesting to anyone. I have no grand projects planned, and at present, my only motivation for doing this is as a learning project. That said, any comments or suggestions will be appreciated. And thanks for stopping in :)
