Untitled nothingish post

Recently I've been running Ubuntu 10.10 rather than Windows, and for some reason doing that made me look into programming with C++ more than when I mostly ran Windows. :P

I've now gotten fairly familiar with some of the more basic syntax of C++, but I still have quite the way to go. I had a couple of old C++ books, but I packed them up when I moved to another state (yay for moving!) and currently don't know where they are...hmm....

On another note, I think by getting more familiar with C++ I'll be able to use Microsoft's XNA Game Studio framework with C# pretty soon...not necessarily for 3D games mind you, but for 2D. I'd like to see if I can make my own little "Breakout" game; that would be really cool.

I really like the code structure of C++; in my head it just makes more sense and looks far more organized (well, depending on how good your layout skills are) than DarkBASIC, and something about it just feels more natural. If I can get proficient in C++/C# I will be enormously happy.

And that's what I want for Christmas.
