One of the interesting ironies is that the embedded programming language is XBasic, which is an open-source project also available stand-alone for both Windows and Linux. I was planning to devote some time in January to studying it in isolation, but then as luck would have it (that's Good Luck!), my brother and his wife gave me a copy of "The Art of Attack in Chess", by Vladimir Vukovic. In this first official year of my retirement, I find myself able, willing and in fact eager to go back to school, in the physical, on-line and self-study senses. I am one course short of a graduate degree in Philosophy, and I just discovered that thanks to the beneficent country in which I live, when you're over 65 you can have your tuition waved, and that alone might cause me to pursue a doctorate. After decades of study, mostly informal, I have one or two things to say about Socrates and Plato. Stay tuned LOL. A.
