Clearly you are a very talented individual.  Cheers.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>jenniferDewalt</author><text>Just before I started the project, I looked around the internet for some resources to see what I was getting myself into. There are so many awesome places to get information out there. Stack Overflow, the Wikipedia, demos, tutorials, documentation. I spend about 10 hours a day working on the project and the vast majority of that time is me digging through those amazing resources.</text></comment>

Here is someone implementing it in eight minutes in APL, while explaining it, and futzing around with other stuff: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;Also, I don&amp;#x27;t really understand the suspicion this gets here. Where&amp;#x27;s the win in giving someone the Spanish inquisition for posting something cool? What&amp;#x27;s the upside of this skepticism? Does it accomplish something useful? It&amp;#x27;s not like this person is trying to sell you something or has any reason to deceive you.</text></comment>
