Amen right back at ya! (I love the O'Reilly book cover.) I highly recommend people read your blog post. And there's also this classic:

I'll also take this opportunity to plug Make and Drake for manipulating data in a replicable way:

Just for clarification, I'm not the original blogger. +10 for the other link and using make ! I don't know Drake however.
