March 12, 2002

Another almost insultingly short update I guess… Oh well. On with it ;) During this week I saw the funniest description of pointers and indirection I’ve ever read. It happened on the comp.lang.c newsgroup, and the author was someone calling himself “the Magical Pony!” (exclamation mark and all). I saved a copy, so you can read it yourself :)

I have been hugely busy with coursework lately, and a huge desire to write a “string library” that will read in a C-string of any length (i.e. it should use realloc() to get more memory if need be). Just to get experience of how it is done of course. Also, I have a desire to start all over again and try to do all the K&R2 exercises. And do them properly this time. It will only be the third time I try ;) (and I never got past chapter four…).
