reading (rather studying out of) two e-books. "Land of Lisp" and "Learn You A Haskell for Great Good".

Lisp and Haskell are programming languages.

Common Lisp wasn't created when I was using Lisp for work. The new updated Lisp is much nicer and I thought I would brush up on Lisp.

Haskell is an exacting language based on mathematical formalism thus you will not find side-effects (bugs) in your code.

yes my name is ***** and I'm a geek without any hope...

Oh I'm still reading "Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith (original manuscript was back in 1776). A true classic.
