Busy-ness!!

Man, this blog has been lingering in the back of my mind all weekend. o-o;

I feel so bad for not updating it aggh. But I seriously didn't want to do any work on my coding this weekend... I've been madly creative and inspired (and also kicking ass in pvp on ToR with Fiance...)

This morning hasn't been crazily busy by any means, so I took it upon myself to scribble down some more notes from K&R. Mom walked by my desk and made a comment about how fast I write, then became very interested in what I was writing about. I flipped the cover of K&R over to show her, and the following conversation ensued:

Mom: "Coding!?"
Me: *grins* "Include standard input/output dot H..."
Mom: "What the fuck, girls don't code!!"

It made me giggle. C:

Anyway, I'm getting into Character Input and Output, specifically with getchar and putchar. I really have to work at this one to figure out what they're talking about. I'm trying to paraphrase, but I keep finding myself writing their explanations word-for-word because I don't understand them enough to paraphrase. Baahh.

First, I need to transcribe my notes from 1.4. Then I'll move to 1.5, which is input/output for character info. Belowwww the break...

Chapter 1: Strengths and Weaknesses

I'm having one of those days!! I told myself this morning that I would reward myself with note-taking today if I could finish all of my work. Well, that was peachy, except I haven't been able to find a definitive "end" to my work! Something new skids across my desk every time I finish something else and I didn't even turn my OWN computer on until after noon. Blaargh!

I really wanted to crack open the book and read more after I got home last night, but Guild Wars 2 ate up my free time. It'll be ToR tonight, because I'll want to keep my sicky honey company if he's up to playing. He's got a bad ear infection. :(

He admitted to me this morning that he may put forth a little more effort into learning code. That makes me happy! But it could have just been the meds talking. ;) Heeeehehe.

ANYWAY. You're not here for my BABBLING. Part two of Chapter 1 is beyond the break!

Chapter 1: History!

I like this textbook. As I've scanned over the contents, it seems very well-written and clear, with good information and explanations. It begins with the history of C, and how it came to be. The links are going to typically be Wikipedia links that I skim over for additional information and provide here for the convenience of anyone following along.
