advice on how to start hacking...

I think you are both doing really well - slow and steady with small steps gets you where you want to be. And yes, I know what you mean about spooks, they are over and done with so fast, you don't normally have time to analyse them and see what they actually did.

Awh fab mrs, good to hear! And as for the spooks, once you've experienced a few, you learn to recognise what they do every time and it helps you cope with them better. I used to just go on shut down when Flipo did it, hit the ejector button and that was me. Then I gradually got to know the signs and what he tended to do in response and it helped me cope. Now, he spooks, I don't even tighten my reins, I just laugh at him as it's never anything more than a flinch. We fed off of each other, so it paid to put the effort in and learn how to deal with it without worrying him even more.
