Clearly ;)

Many times. I'm actually an artist. Doesn't pay the bills ;) I've also
muddled through programming in python for many years and, finally, starting
to get pretty good at it.

Maybe, maybe not. Guide me again.

See above. I'm currently writing a very sophisticated highly automated

Well, you don't have to help me if you don't want to. Then again, maybe
you'll have heart and give it another shot. Perhaps others will help. I
honestly am trying. It ain't easy for us right-brainers to catch on to all
this left-brain stuff, but I do catch on. Try me again ;)
