I got the basic of C in a day and wrote an exam on Brainbench.com and passed
and got a certificate that enables me to get a job ( I`m 14 , hehe ) .

I tried to get people to code in Eu , but all reply I got was that they
think i`m a salesman . Hehe , maybe I should become one ..... na , i`ll stay
with coding .

To tell you the truth , the only reson i`m on this list is because of the
great people (like you) , the profesional standard information i get and a
bunch of sentimental crap . Dont think to deep about it , else its gonna get
to ya .

Read ya later !
