hehe. I am also teaching myself c / linux programming this summer with the empeg as a tool. this board has some really smart and helpful people on it, and I think it will be a valuble expirience. hopefully you'll see some stuff soon.

currently my knowledge of c++ is about 6/10 (2 college courses), c about 3/10 (read and understood all the examples in the K&R), and linux about 3/10 (currently dual booting). we'll see how that improves as i progress.

i think my first big project will be porting emptris to the hijack interface and have it easy to install, but i'm not quite there yet. i'll let you know how it goes.
