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?

Might try Design Patterns by Gammma et al. It's one of the bibles of modern programming.

Thanks! I need more How To Think About Stuff books, which this sounds like.

Oh, yeah. Design Patterns is very much a How To Think About Stuff book.

I am desperately trying to remember the object-oriented book that had a massive influence on me when I was in CA. I can't find it (I think it went walkabout in my Haunted days), and the title... uh...

*brainflash*

You talk to wm, you might ask him if he has my copy, that's the last person I remember having it.
