Aside from a workshop here and here, I learned all my computer stuff by looking over people's shoulders...oh I forgot those highly practical courses in Fortran and Snoball, etc. My favorite web programming manual is "View Page Source". I have a high-tech PhD in medieval literature. I can claim it is high-tech because I am a MEDTEXTL listmember, and I legitimize my fraud with an IALLT membership, and by hanging out occasionally at the CET (Middlbury). The only thing I lack is that I am probably only a quarter as competent as Phoebe. My PhD is real but its not worth 2 cents, because I don't teach anything I am trained in. I do have a genuine pseudonym. So, who is the real fraud?
