  Hrm I'd not even thought about checking for anything online.  I've forgotten,
evidently, that now is the day and age of web apps.  I'll have to check that
out and see if I can't turn up something that'll help me parse the JS OO.

  Awesome.  Thank you for the reference, I'll check it out as soon as my little
one goes to bed tonight.  :)

  Some of it isn't such a bad thing.  Like I mentioned (somewhere, maybe here?)
I get into a groove where I'm coding quick and I can remember a lot of the
functionality of the code that I've written, but then I find that I'm skimming
it, instead of looking for what it's actually DOING.  I miss a lot of small
bugs that way.  Actually, after taking a week off from development on my shell
I just realized that I've been doing that and, as a result, chopped through
some bugs that've been bugging me for months.  Nice to be able to come back
with a fresh mind, sometimes.  Regardless, it's a better working mess now. :)
  Then again, I also see examples of the people you were talking about earlier,
where they can fly in and out of different chunks of code that they haven't
touched for months and remember everything.  Something to aspire to, I guess. 
*grin*
