Some of you will have noticec a rather erratic posting pattern from me recently, with some unexplained absences whereas previously I would post almost evey single day.

The reason is that in my life outside C programming I have been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the illness is now in a phase where hospital stays and such absences are inevitable. However I expect to post for a few more months, and then, of course, probably the last post will be made without me being aware that this is to be the last.

And I've just had to say that I can no longer write software for money. Whether I can write software without the pressures of it being a formal job or not, I don't know. And whilst C has aways been a very important of my adult life, for obvius reasons my religious interests are now taking priority.

  I don't post here much, but you helped me out a few times in the past.
 Sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
 What kind of cancer?
