- Nicholas sends me a message in C!
- James asks if I am using the Intel River Trail API at all and asks if we have a CR subreddit.
- Atcl shares a great resource and some thoughts on the value of knowing assembler
- Brandon would like some information on services like oDesk, eLance, and vWorker as a source for work.
