Finally!

After years of procastination, I've decided to start learning C++.
I'm looking for all the help I can get on this one, picked up Bruce Eckel's thinking in C++.
Infact I realized that probably this is what I should do pick a new language a year and understand the mechanics of the same.
I wonder if there is a list of all the possible programming languages out there.
Infact started making a list of some of the best technology books available covering different topics too... still building it will post it down the line. I'm looking for contributions to the list, only if you think the books is nothing but the best on a particular topic would I think of including it in the list.

(Incidentally realized Bruce Eckel also has a book called thinking in C# amazingly it's not available on Amazon but on some other online siteshttp://www.bluestonelab.com
And the ebook version costs about 1$. Interestingly it's in the same format as the thinking in C++ book. )

BBC NEWS | Americas | US father names son 'Version 2.0'

I was zapped when I read this, now is this whacko or what ?
It just makes me smile. I wonder if someday cloning and all that mumbo jumbo will enable a person to clone everthing about himself and create a better version... hmm now I would like a little less flab in my next version and yeah make him a little less lazy :-)
