There is a cool little language called
"Scratch", which is build using
Squeak, which is a version of
SmallTalk. Got it? Good. Anyway, it is basically a
"Lego" approach to programming for kids (and kids at heart) from the brains at
MIT. Very easy, very fun, and very capable. Here is the result my my first attempt:
Press the space bar to hear the cat. Cool, eh? Here was how it was built:

On the left are the "building blocks". In the middle are the program steps. On the right is the output. You can actually change the program while it is running, and see the immediate results. Well, it impresses me anyway.
And, no. This is not what I'm doing at
work! I'm learning
Linux,
Python, and something called
Enterprise Available Software Applications.
And
yes, I got
carried away with the
hyperlinks!

I wondered what in the world you were doing last night. Ann Marie told me to stop because I was space bar happy.
The dog is going ballistic! LOL!!! Every time the cat meows she sticks her nose under my computer and sniffs. She keeps barking and acting like she's going to jump on the bed.
