I managed to make myself sound like John Belushi's bigger roommate ... Definitely not true! But thanks to the surprising number of supportive comments.

I think what attracts me is the coherence of a real course of study again. I learn something every day but it's across economics, option pricing, handling profilers across threads, whatever is on fire or on the reading list this week. the subject matter and themes are there but I have to reach for them. It was nice reading through the text and thinking the hard work had already been done I just needed to follow on.

But thank you for commenting - probably biggest response for a while and very inspiring.
