Congrats on the new job, Ben! Great story, I could say that it
had me "Root-ing" for you - but that would make you groan from
the number of times you've probably heard it before, so I'm not
gonna do that ;)

Hope this doesn't mean you'll be posting less, now :)

I want to second Ben's comments: I learned (and continue to
learn) quite a bit about matplotlib by trying to answer the
questions others have (with my trusty IPython tab-completion, and
when necessary, doing what every Python Jedi does, and use the
Source) - and by following along with the answers others provide.

best,
