Bootcamp

@ < guild />

I'm lurking in on a boot camp scenario.  That might sound physically onerous but it's more metaphysically steep.  We climb, attain skills.  I'm just a noob in this picture, marginal to the action.

However I'm in the wings, like an understudy, and could be called in front of an audience, as soon as Wednesday. So like theater.

Last night I dove into Volume 3 of Knuth's The Art of Computer Science, just starting to get into it. He immediately turned to permutations, a mathy type object I've been dinking around with.  I felt led to add to my code's capabilities.

My puttering was lassoed for a post to MathFuture, with a link to the current source code.
