I can't imagine how devastating this must have been; thanks for sharing such a great tool and glad it's been salvation to you. To be honest, it sounds MUCH better than typing - almost rather do that than type my articles now! ;-)

How cool is it that it was computer engineering that actually ended up helping you? (Was curious if you were familiar yourself with the coding or if it was a new thing at the time of your graduate work? - regardless talk about work that truly changes people's lives!) awesome stuff!
