<h3>Venturing back into C</h3>
- <p>After working in C++ for home projects that never go anywhere I
- decided to get back to basics and write a utility that I have been
- needing in plain ol&#39; C.</p>
- <p><a href='https://github.com/s3nd3r5/reminder'><b>reminder.d</b></a> is
- a cli and daemon (so far) that manage reminders throughout your day.</p>
+ <p>For the past two weeks or so I have been diving back into C
+ programming. I&#39;ve found it to be a very fun and refreshing experience
+ coming off of a slog of Java 11 updates at work. I&#39;ve found comfort
+ in its simplicity and frustrations in my &quot;I can do this without an
+ IDE&quot; mindset.</p>
+ <p>I started C programming in College during a 8 AM course of which all I
+ can remember is that it was at 8 AM. I loved programming in C, dealing
+ with memory, pointers, no strings, structs, no strings, linking, no
+ strings. It was a really interesting difference from the web and Java
+ programming I had done previously. Obviously the lack of the
+ &quot;string&quot; type made things interesting and initially a challenge
+ for me back then. In my most recent endevour I found <code class=
+ 'inline'>char *</code> to be perfectly suitable for every case I came
+ across. It was usually a separate library that was failing me, not a
+ fixed char array. This was mostly due to the types of programs I was
+ writting in college were text adventures where all of what I did was
+ using strings. And my lack of understanding of what was actually
+ happening in C was really what was causing all the issues.</p>
