i'm feeling slightly competent now that i've given S2 a semi-serious look. i've been bugged by not having "military" time on my entries, and this isn't an easily customisable feature of the layout i am currently using (generator). so i had to learn enough of S2 to make that happen. it wasn't actually that hard, or maybe i still have what it takes; i've always been good at grasping the overall workings of a programming language even if i don't actually know it yet.

( how i did it, should i ever want to do this again )
