What are you working on? February 2012

This is the bimonthly 'What are you working On?' thread. Previous threads are here. So here's the question:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines:

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started.
Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
Talk about your goals for the project.
Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
Link to your work if it's linkable.

Thanks for the offer! How much and what kind of effort is required to get up to speed?

Hmm.. that's a tough question. It depends on your background, which skills you're interested in picking up, and to what level of mastery.

I've taught someone some text hypnosis and had him getting real results (amnesia/hallucinations included) in an evening - but that was mostly a surface level learning. I suppose you could do a fairly large amount of useful stuff with even a shallow appreciation of suggestion though.

I've put a lot of time an effort into piecing together the theories and wrapping my head around it all, but I'm sure it would be much faster ... (read more)
