Im trying to learn programming, but my resources in this area are non-existent, and anything I have found requires money (of which I dont have) or something I cant get

Any suggestions would be great

Of course, C is old as dirt, but you have to start somewhere, and C goes right into C++, and C++ is similar to Java and C# too. Problem is getting a good compiler for free. There are a few out there actually. Borland was giving one away once I think.

A UPS device would be nice for when I don't have extreme super reliable power. The campus makes its own power, and all the cables are buried. Its pretty sweet, only one power outage Last year (maintenance at the plant), and I bet this year will be flicker free. Add a huge pipe to the net, and Im golden. Darn mainframe!!!!

Re: Current patch history in Beta
 

Er, not to get back on topic, but now that the game has been shipped (I got mine today!), when is the patch going to be available?

Re: Current patch history in Beta
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hehe, sorry. I suspect the patch will be very soon. Aaron is working on it right now.
