I just finished reading `Writing Solid Code' by Steve Maguire.
- It's 15 years old and it shows. I, for example, learned that most desktop computers don't have protected memory.
- It's published by Microsoft Press. It seems that most current Microsoft programmers haven't bothered to read it.
- The author likes that godawful Systems Hungarian notation.
+ It does provide some quite useful tips for writing reliable C code.
+ It has slightly amusing stories about old Microsoft projects.

It's a good book, but the learning curve is a bit high. One minute it's talking about how integers are self-evaluating, the next it's talking about register machines.

Seeing how many lonely people there are here on /v/ has inspired me to help you love-less, bitter fools out with your social problems and lack of confidence.
I have prepared a simple and easy to implement guide that will help you to improve your physic to a decent standard and get you in the good with a woman.
First off, sort out your appearance. If you are overweight then:
1. Drink nothing but water and milk, and plenty of it. Forget soft drinks, if you stay off them for a while you'll become less reliant. Water will keep your skin zit free and help you to feel more alert during the day.
2. TWO EXERCISES IS ALL YOU NEED
1.Push-ups: You'll struggle to do 10 at first, but within about 3 days you should have no problem. They build you up fast, and turn the flab around your chest and arms into gradual muscle over a matter of weeks. Try and do 20+ a day.
2. Squats: Gay as they are, squats are an incredibly easy way to get the flab off your legs and tighten your ass. Your gonna want a nice lower section during sex.
3.Diet - Drinks aside, make sure your eating cereal or oatmeal for breakfast. No more fried foods. For lunch have sandwiches, always a good and filling snack. Dinner can be tricky, if your a bad chef then try and eat things like instant noodles or spaghetti. Stay well away from frozen good like pizza or french fries and avoid eating at fast food joints at all costs.
