Back from the ashes 
The only "real" programming language I know is Visual Basic, which is not really real, cause it is interpreted... technical mumbo-jumbo talk anyway. I tried to learn C++ once, but never got further than to the text based "Guess if the next number is higher or lower than the current" game I made, cause I didn't know what to do next from there... so I gave up. If Visual Basic is interpreted, then DinkC is extremely interpreted. Which makes it more of a scripting language than a real programming language, cause you can only do what the game lets you do.

Anyway, over to the real subject... I seem to have a chronical programming blues. I can start up to 5 projects a week, work for them for 5 hours or so, and then give up, cause I get bored of the idea. I must've started over 50 program projects, and as far as I can remember, I've only completed 3. The DinkC program on this site, Easy DinkC, a program I call "WebShot" which takes a screenshot of your screen, and sends it over http to a user who requested it.. and finally, something I called KaZaA Connect, which let you download stuff from KaZaA users without letting them know, and without being connected to KaZaA. *sigh* - I dunno why... but I'm never able to complete what I start.. oh, and just to mention, I've started minimum 10 dmods, and all I've ever been able to release was a shootty demo of a crappy idea.
