Dear Unix diary,

I've always wanted to learn more C so that I'm not a danger to any system I try to compile code for, but I lacked the motivation to dig deeper until recently. What changed? I wanted to be able to contribute to an awesome project, wmutils, by adding multi-head support. Unfortunately, my C skills are horribly neglected and "basic" at best. However, I've resolved to learn more C and xcb in order to be able to contribute back to such a wonderful project (thanks z3bra and dcat!). It feels good to be learning another language. A week ago I finished my studies of C#, which I was learning for work, and started getting "grumpy" because I felt that I was stagnating again, picking up another language is just what I need in order to feel like I'm making progress in my personal development. The fact that I'm going to be using the language of the *nix gawds is a pretty big milestone for me. I now feel like I'm graduating from some sort of class and being kicked out into the "real world".

Even if my progress is slow, it's still progress, and that's the important part. I've made a Github repo specifically dedicated toward X related C learning so that I can track my activity and I'm pretty sure that this is the kick in the pants I needed to finally catch up on what has always been a goal of mine: Being useful in every language commonly used in a *nix system.
