[oats-sig] new opportunities

First off, I'm really impressed that you can do all this stuff,
including a warbling email! I'd be interested to hear what sort of
tools do you use to make it all possible if you don't mind sharing.

I doubt that you'll have any trouble learning python if you've worked
with c++ before. Its a concise yet expressive language and is pretty
easy to pick up. There is an excellent tutorial
(http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html) that will give you the tour or
the interpreter and the usual stuff as well as some of the great
built-in modules. After that I can recommend checking out some of the
great blogs (http://planet.python.org/). They're generally friendly
people too.
