Writing

so it's amazing how a fairly simple idea for an article turns into page after page of writing once you actually start working on it. i'm just barely getting into the interesting parts, and i'm already hitting my word count. i'm sure i'll be able to streamline things when i go back and edit things, but still, this is turning out to be much longer than i'd anticipated. perhaps i will have to try chromatic's advice about pulling the example code out into a separate page, and linking to it from the article.
