Not too much to say. I downloaded the Express edition of the program from MSDN, bought a book on Amazon to learn console apps (see here) and I started playing around with some of the tutorials on the MSDN website.  It seems pretty simple to do basic programs, hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with the language as things get more complex.  Starting at the console level should probably help with that goal.  After I work through this book, I’ll probably pick up a copy of another more advanced book to help with Windows Apps and maybe the Cookbook.  After that I should be well on my way to being able to write what I have in mind (various things, nothing too concrete right now).

gl to me.

I’ve never been a smoker. I’ve never even tried a cigarette. But this is pretty sick.

If you’ve had money frozen in NETELLER for awhile, you can go get it now. They finally started allowing US members to withdraw. Tell your friends.

I P2Ped my money out 6 months ago at a 1.9% transfer fee. Since I had it in a 5% annual money market, I guess I made a small amount of money on the decision to take it out. But it was basically breakeven.

Update.

I recently received this comment: “you pay tax on money market account interest. it was a loss”

I also get to deduct the 1.9% in fees that I paid.  I’m pretty sure it was about breakeven.
