I’ve been thinking about getting involved in programming of some sort for the past few months and I think I’ve finally decided what I want to do. Currently, I have a couple of choices for an alarm clock for waking me up in the morning: My radio, my phone, and my new Nintendo DSi. My radio doesn’t work half the time and my Nintendo DSi has the most annoying alarm in the world. So I’m stuck using my phone, which I have to remember to set every night. This past week, messing with my Zune, I found out that you can install user programs on it. The current solution for an alarm clock on the zune is zAlarm, which I installed but found to be annoying to get to work with my Zune dock. So I’ve started learning XNA so I can write a new alarm program that is simple to use. I started writing a program in C# yesterday.
