Having discovered codegolf stackexchange I am absolutely amazed at how tiny some answers are. I think this is a fascinating puzzle site and although none of my answers have come close to winning any competitions I have really enjoyed working on the programs. I think my answers will get shorter with practice, but it is great fun to try and am learning a surprising amount not only about my own preferred language but others too. Some of the programmers on here are absolutely amazing.....

Also note to self - I really must have a go at learning and using Cjam, it looks fabulous.
