16. Opened to Chapter 4
17. Started scripting
18. Applied various scripts to an object until scripting functioned 
19. In all honesty I would have preferred for the book to get right to the the point with its scripting otherwise it is going to seriously confuse me. Just tell me what I should look up and how to do it in the help menu bar and I'll be all set if I want to code anything on my own. Giving me the wrong script repeatedly is a number one way of pissing me off.
20. I skipped most of the repetitious incorrect scripting and jumped to where it gave me the correct script around page 106
21. Found out how to remove script
22. Found out how tow to "borrow" code
23. Blogged
