Hard to C -- a blog about programming
« on: July 02, 2009, 09:46 PM »
Hard to C is my blog about programming. About the problems, bugs and aha-moments you encounter while working on projects.

Since I do most of my coding in C/C++ and assembly language, many posts will be related to those, but I hope some of it will be of more general interest as well :Thmbsup:.

Well, I must admit I wasn't too happy with Visual C++ when I found out why it was crashing .. but it was nice to see it wasn't a bug in my code ;D.

Resurrecting this post from the graveyard to say that I know I am a very unstable blogger, but there has been a few new posts since last year, in case anyone who was interested gave up checking during the last drought :-[.
