The programming itch

Ah looks like I got the itch again, The itch that drives me to pick up a language and try to create something with it, Usually a game but I never get that far I normally quite way before that point.

So I have picked up M$ C# express edition which is very much not $$$ being free for all to use but lacking a few features of it bigger brother Visual studio, I was tempted by Java but the learning support structure just isn't as rich as it is for C# which is a shame.

My current stab at learning is different from normal where I grab a starter tutorial and work through variables, arrays etc for the umpteenth time and instead have dived straight in to a ready made RPG game kit where you learn by modifying the code as you go. I think this might be a good approach for me and my slightly ADD brain :)

A cozy fire at the beach a few years ago, I had forgotten all about it till I started to sort my photos out. Turns out I have 47Gb of photos on the HDD!
