Michael, you mentioned that you wanted some prompting re: writing about your
experiences with your current position, so...can you expound some about what
you're learning about contracts, particularly about usage rights? Promise
not to give you the look reserved for puppies with bladder probs.

Definitely wise: in a notebook and in your code. For html stuff, get cozy
with <!-- note --> and in scripting use some marker that makes it easy to go
back and do cleanups, such as #!# in perl, or some other such text. Makes it
easy to do a site wide search for the crap that you mean to cleanup someday,
when you get a few minutes and are wondering what the f to do with yourself.
