Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

The Bookshop of Happiness

We went to London today. We went into Foyles, the best bookshop in the UK. Other shops have a self of books about computing. Foyles have rooms. And rooms. Everything you want to know is there.  Wonderful. They had my book too.

This is the first time that I've seen my book on sale in a shop. Amazing. Actually, I bought one of the two they had, to give to number one daughter who was with us. That makes two copies of my own book that I've bought, which is probably rather worrying...

I have three copies myself. I am planning on giving at least two of them to teachers I know who are looking at teaching using XNA. Maybe they'll adopt it as a text? I also just bought 5 copies for a teacher who is going to use them with her students. So it looks like you will not have to buy them all yourself. :-)
Now I just have to figure out how to get my copy autographed.
