So then I got better,
learned to program in C#,
went to Kinkfest,
finished knitting my mom's scarf,
entertained visiting relatives,
got sick again,
finished programming an entire Playfair decoder while sick,
got better again,
went to Norwescon,
dressed as the Doctor a whole bunch and met neo_prodigy but hopefully didn't give him con crud,
and discovered that Avatar: the Last Airbender (the proper cartoon series) is frickin' brilliant-hysterical-charming-wonderful.

My Little Pony and Young Indiana Jones ain't half bad either.

Stuff continues continuing. I am now at the spot in C# where all the easy problems are too easy and all the hard problems are impossible. Can anyone recommend a tasty reference book?

"CLR via C#" by Jeffrey Richter is a good book for becoming a good programmer, and I highly recommend it. It explains the details of what's going on behind the scenes, and why things work the way they do work. It might be a bit beyond where you're at right now, but it might also be a good way to learn; I can't quite tell from where I am. :) And if you continue using either C# or .NET or the CLR, it's also a good reference book.

You are using the right sorts of words to get me excited about a book. Thank you for the recommendation.
