First a bit of background. 20 years ago I got my masters degree in fine art photography after spending a few years as a professional photographer in NYC shooting for the likes of Rolling Stone, some other magazines, and record labels. Somehow I got into software development after playing around with writing my own art making software and closed my studio a dozen years ago.
The one piece of advice I can give from 25 years of being a student, practitioner and teacher of photography is to take a lot of photographs.
How many are a lot of photographs? Back when I was a student and was using a 35 mm camera I would average about 60 shots a day , and would make about 50 prints a week. When I was pro, I shoot a lot more for work and my personal work was large format so I didn't take as many pictures, although I probably used a lot more film.
In March, after I got laid off from Cisco I decided to go back to photography. ( I started a project at one company, it got sold to Cisco. Cisco moved the development to India , and "reorganized" the two original developers on the project out of the company. ) I've made about fifteen thousand exposures since March basically getting my chops back. One of the advantages of using a digital camera is that it is so fantastically cheap compared to conventional photography. I spent about $5,000 on new gear to go digital compared to spending probably three times that for film and lab fees alone if I were shooting chromes, and maybe ten or twenty times that to shoot black and white.
Another advantage of digital is you have almost instant feedback as opposed to a few hours when you are shooting film. A couple days of shooting digital can conceivably teach you as much as a couple weeks of shooting film.
You should be able to shoot a couple hundred photos a day just to "see what things look like in photographs" Try out all the features you don't understand until you understand them. Shoot for a few days at a tenth of a second until you can hold the camera still. Shoot a few hundred shots guessing where the camera is framing the picture without looking , until you get pretty good at it.
I was using a Canon G2 for about a year. It was a pretty good tool and has specs similar to what you are describing. I got a digital SLR in march when I decided to get serious because the auto focus and shutter lag was so awful on the G2 even though the canon G* series is about as good as you can get in those respects. The SLRs are quicker and you can focus them manually although I miss using the G2's fold out LCD to compose at waist level. On the $2,000 + cameras auto focus still sucks though. I shot for years with a Hasselblad and rarely had an out of focus shot , and I have used pro cameras where you just have to guess where to focus with more consistent results that the out-of-focus systems on the newer cameras.
Anyway, back to your situation. Once you get some momentum, show your work to other photographers or somebody who you respect and talk about them. Photo classes are a good venue for this. Musicians, actors and writers often start groups to do this, maybe you can get together a group of artists or photographers where you live.
The most important thing is to practice and experiment. Do lots of things "wrong", and see what happens.

"It used to be much worse than that, in the days up to the blue & white G3, with the
Nubus architecture,"
Ahem.
The Nubus architecture was not proprietary and indeed a non Apple standard.
It was developed for the Texas Instruments Nu Machine ( back in 1982 I think ) and was used in the Texas Instruments Explorer Lisp Machines. and then the S1500 series of Unix servers introduced by TI in 1986 and sold to HP in 1992
So you see the Nubus was already an old bus by the time Apple started using it.
"One of the best cases to make is to stop teaching and do something else that pays what they deserve."
I think that it is pretty obvious that that is what is happening. Around here, all the good teachers are either fairly young and are teaching because it is really what they want to do, or have switched careers from a high paying job to a more satisfying one. The younger ones tend to switch to a higher paying job when they start to have families, and the older career switchers tend to have an investment banker spouse or something.
The bad teachers tend to be the "Lifers" with no place else to go.
If you are using a recent windows machine, press the shift key 5 times in a row.

When I was a kid , in the california central valley, one of the tractor repair guys had a big one bolted to the back of his truck powered by a lawn mower engine.
Pretty neat to have outdoor air-conditioning in the middle of a field in 105 degree weather. This was when most cars weren't air-conditioned.
By looking both ways when I crossed the street, I avoided
getting run over.
real-life example
A friend of mine did not look both ways when crossing
the street and was crushed to a pulp not unlike a large uncooked pizza by
a cement truck going the wrong way against traffic.
I think the difference is that the "real life" experiences are
in the first person, and the examples don't need to be. By necessity
most folks experiences are somewhat limited compared to the range of possibility.
I.E. , if you get crushed to a pulp, the incident won't get written up as

Well one out of three isn't too bad I guess
'When the "recording industry" first started, individual songs were sold on 45's. People would buy books (similar to picture albums) in which they would store their records. '
Umm, 78s in fact. I have a few 78 "albums" myself.
Back in the days of the 78s, the really good ones only had one side with music on it. The other side had a trademark covering it.

Yes the lovely Tadpoles,
1)The Sparcbook and ultrabooks are Solaris based on sparc hardware
2)The PrecisionBook uses the PA-7300LC processor and runs HP unix
3)Don't forget the original GRiD Compass 1100, running GRiD-OS. That was

4) Casio FP-200 , was primarily a spreadsheet machine and ran a built-in
software package called CETL (Casio Easy Table Language), a VisiCalc-like
language The FP-200 was built around a CMOS version of the Z80 and has 32K
of ROM and 8K of RAM, expandable to 32K. The FP-200 has an 8-line X 20 character
display. For graphics, 64 X 160 pixels can be individually addressed. Had
a full sized keyboard
5) WorkSlate from Convergent Technologies, was another spreadsheet machine,
and all the software packages on the WorkSlate were adaptations of the basic
spreadsheet program. The WorkSlate used a CMOS version of the 6800 The display
on the WorkSlate had 16 lines by 42 characters. Some lines were devoted to
status indicators, headings, and formulae; as a result, about 11 by 5 cells
of a spreadsheet are visible at a time.
6) The Teleram 3000 notebook portable, weighing in at nine pounds.
Completely standard keyboard; four-line by 80-character display; 128K of
internal bubble memory (expandable to 256K); and CP/M operating system.
7) The Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100, actually made by Kyoto Ceramics
, the same company that makes Yashica and Contax cameras and those cool ceramic
knives. The Model 100 uses a CMOS version of the Z80 running at 2.5 MHz.
7.5) The NEC PC-8201 twin of the Radio Shack Model 100.. The 8201
was born six months or so earlier in Japan and is a somewhat different version
of the Kyoto Ceramics original.
8) The Epson HX-20 was the first true notebook size computer introduced.
The HX-20 uses a CMOS version of the Z80 mpu. It has 32K of ROM and 16K of
RAM, expandable to 32K with an external module. Mass storage is provided
in the form of a built-in microcassette recorder and a built-in printer and
a NiCad rechargeable battery that provides 50 hours of use
9) The MicroOffice RoadRunner uses a CMOS version of the Z80 mpu and has
16K of ROM and 48K of RAM. Four memory cartridge slots are found over the
keyboard for extra RAM memory and ROM software cartridges. These are addressed
from the CP/M-compatible operating system as devices A through D Also built
in is a schedule organizer, name/address organizer Word processing, Microsoft
Basic, and Sorcim SuperCalc. More packages are promised in the future.
10) Xerox 1810 notebook portable designed by Sunrise Systems with a CMOS
version of the Z80 with 32K of ROM and 16K of RAM, expandable to 65K.
11) Gavilan It had a touch pad below the display in 1983!!! And
it had windows, a trash basket and icons before the Mac, (but after the Lisa)
!
The Gavilan had a 16-bit 8088 cpu, 48K of ROM, and 64K and RAM, expandable
with up to four 32K plug-in capsules of blank memory or applications software
packages. Also built in was a 3 inch , 320K Hitachi floppy disk drive. (
remember those? looked just like a 5.25 or 8 inch floppy ) and an optional
snap-on printer !
"The most unusual feature of the Gavilan is the touch pad below
the display. This lets you manipulate objects on the screen by pointing at
them. A quick movement of your finger moves the cursor a long way while a
slow movement gives you fine control. Like Apple's Lisa system, pictorial
representations of objects such as file drawers, file folders, documents,
and a trash basket are shown on the screen.
Although the screen is capable of displaying eight lines of 80 characters,
in most cases, part of the screen will be devoted to menus in "windows' appropriate
