Thank you Nikolai,

Actually I remember reading it not long ago. Is not a matter of
completely not knowing, but is a matter of time constrains.

As I mentioned (and you kindly quoted): I'm, very lazy, everybody
knows that about me.

If I need to do something twice, I automate it.

While I can sit, read and learn the whole toolset, I rather prefer be
more proficient in other aspects.

But thank you for the link, perhaps someone interested in learning
this can take advantage of it.
