In September I picked up programming. Following many people’s recommendations I chose the Project Euler + Python combination. So far it seems to be quite addictive (and effective). I’m currently at 90 solved problems, although I’m starting to feel a bit out of my (rather non-deep) depth, and thus I consider temporarily switching to investigating PyGame for a while and coding remakes of simple old games, while getting ahold of several CS and coding textbooks.

You started 3 months ago and already did 90 Project Euler problems? Your future as a programmer is so bright you’ll have to wear sunglasses.
Wow, thanks. That’s probably the subjectively best feeling thing anyone’s said to me in 2011 so far.
Cousin_it’s comment references a great song.
Wow, I’m such a nerd. I didn’t even know that song existed! I stole the line from Philip Greenspun via Joel Spolsky =)
