The best advice I can give you is to, you know, do it! Get a copy of "The C Programming Language" by Kernaghan and Ritchie and work though it, do all the exercises and make notes. Choose an open-source tool you use (or find one that interests you) and get hold of the source code, read through it and...

Out of all the problems I have day to day, this is the one that has the biggest impact on me. It doesn't have to be that I've upset someone either. As an example, I play badminton every Monday night and I'm reasonably good at it. If I play a bad shot, I will remember that shot, feel like I've let ev...

Even now, I'll get the hottest sauce you can find in the supermarket and pour it on food like ketchup. Thinking about it, me and the same...

I've found that I pick up sports very quickly...at school when we did something new, I was always the best after 2-3 sessions. I was lucky in that we did a load of different stuff like fencing and lacrosse. At some point though, I'd hit a wall and end up right in the middle of the class after a few ...

Hi all. I've been officially diagnosed for about 6 months now. It wasn't a big surprise, but it's taken a lot of time and effort to get to this stage!
