See, I always assumed that cabling was super-complicated and not for me, but as I've been improving in the past year, now it seems entirely within my ability.

I am sorry that I didn't like Snow Crash better - part of it was that I didn't realize it had been written in the 90's until halfway through, so I was like ".....Second Life, the Novel? Big whoop." It's more impressive now that I know it predates that. Still, man, that infodump in the middle of the book kiiiiiilled me.
