Tim, can you fix your date? And, I also agree highly with your words, below. If you're learning to code, sift over the basics from a book, and then start immediately working on free-form coding, or perhaps examine other people's code and modify it to your liking. Some suggested easy fun bits are Window Maker dock apps, system utilities, like the APM stuff, and perhaps network code (ping, netstat, etc). If you just stick with a book and try to code apps, you'll probably find yourself discouraged quickly. The key is to apply knowledge, and maybe apply it on top of other people's code ;-)
