Boohoo... I'm not Apprentice yet. :-)

Begin bragging session.
Anyway, I think I qualify for Apprentice because I have made an OSS project called hexman (which I am documenting better). I've actually done a lot of programming of little things, and I've submitted a few bug reports over the years, but not anything major yet. I consider my C programming skills to be good. I fully understand the grammar of the language (OK, I haven't totally memorized operator precedence yet), and I know some extra programming things. Here's what comes to mind:

• Pointers/arrays
• Function pointers (very cool, IMO)
• Pointer addition
• Screwing around with dynamic memory using malloc(), realloc(), and free()
• String handling
• Linked lists
• B-trees (haven't really used 'em yet)
• Structs, bitfields
• Variable arguments
• Binary logic and bitwise operators
• File I/O
• Modular programming (multiple .c and .h)
• Really simple stuff: loops, strings, displaying, functions, etc.
• How to use man pages <-- Ultra-necessary, IMHO

And, anything I don't know I can learn in a jiffy.
End bragging session.

Update: I fixed a bug in hexman which I thought I had gotten rid of. You can now move properly using the keypad with numlock off.

Update: I'm really working on this thing now. I'll update the diary again when I get finished doing stuff.

Update: OK, I made the PLAYING file. I haven't repackaged yet, I'll do it tommorow.
