A couple of things come to mind: you could

* Ping @conal whether via email or twitter -- he's very friendly and likes helping students. And since you worked hard at one of his blog entries, you just might make his day! (I could also introduce you to him -- just ask.)

* Have you looked at the lens library? What would the code look like using lenses instead of SECs? A comparison would reveal tons of insights -- please blog and share for everyone!
