Hi Josh,

That's certainly something I'll keep in mind, but I think I'll be okay 
in the long run. It's inevitable that I'll make some mistakes, but I've 
always learned the most when doing so (and I hope the folks here will be 
kind enough to help me if I get completely stuck).

I padded my estimated hours by about 20% to account for unforeseen 
issues, so (hopefully) that should give me sufficient wiggle room. I 
have no problem working additional non-billable hours on my own time for 
the sake of learning.

I'm hoping to be able to make it to the upcoming April 21st presentation 
and meet up with some of the locals.

Regards,
Bev
