But I rarely followed through with anything I learnt about anything. I'd read 3 pages of a ASM book and then 3 pages of a C book then 3 pages of a PHP text ,pages on about 10 diff C++ books, articles on comp arch, 3pages on network exploiting, 3 pages on a cryptography text.
Really an Endless list of me going randomly into diff areas.
