adric | BeOS Hacking

It's 3:00 AM (0300),inspired by discussions on BeNewsand armed with the following:

BeOS 5 Pro

lissa (586/150) old workstation

Programming the Be Operating System (Pitta book)

The BeOS Bible

Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days

some Sprite(tm)

I'm going to see if I can't get farther in the Pitta book than I did the last time I opened it (couple chapters tops ;). It shouldn't be too tough, since I've had two semesters of C++ since then. Of course, if you know cxx you know that means balls ;), and if you know about Dekalb Junior High (aka Georgia Perimeter College) then you realize how screwed I am attempting this.

Ah well, breakfast in three hours or so, and hopefully by then I'll be a little more of a hacker.

Addenda, ~700: I got to the beginning of Chapter 4, quite a bit further than I had managed to read before, and in the process got quite sleepy. That's some think stuff.. (This was after a helphul hacker on BeShare figured out a fatal linker screwup.. )
