Acronyms I could boast with if I wanted to :D
I’ve had to learn something about a couple of computer related languages (programming, markup whatever… I don’t claim to know much *about* them :) I just can do something with them without freezing up in shock)
— (X)HTML (duh) + CSS + PHP
— Perl
— Java (mostly forgotten (shouldn’t be!) but I understand code)
— XML: XHTML, XSLT, XSLFO, SVG
    (these make me tear my hair more often than I’d like, well, not basic XML)
— Prolog (I’m learning…)
