I'm a BIG blog reader. I can't stop reading blogs. Blogs helped me find this site (in particular Jeff's blog). However I've come to realize that all the blogs I read deal with one language.

Did you guess the language?

Well now I'm learning C and using GTK (The Gimp Tool Kit). I can't really find any bloggers who actually blog about C like Jeff, Eric, Jon, or Scott do about C#. I need the blogger to be active, and it'll help if he has a sense of humor.

I'm really sorry, but I've made the same search, and the result of my search was sad but expected. C# is a hot topic these days in development circles compared to C [*].

I'd love to be proven wrong, but there is simply nothing in the C world equivalent to the blogs you've mentioned.

[*] I am not criticizing C, It has been my bread and butter for the last 3.5 years, just stating the reality

I hear you man. It sucks because I think it would be a great way to learn C. I'm wanting to help contribute to GEdit and some other open source stuff.

C is not as hip as C# and friends. You will not find many blogs about it.

The only blog I can think of where I got some relevant C info is, There Is NO Box.

Well that's one more then I found. Thanks.
Lucas McCoy
yeah, check out his object-oriented C article, interesting stuff.
Luca Matteis
OO C? That sounds cool. Almost as cool as Objective-C (sorry I'm an apple fan boy). ;-)
Lucas McCoy
sure it's hip, it's just not big in this newfangled "blogosphere". Gotta get to the *real* internet, the web .5 beta 3 stuff, the newsgroups!

@Yoooder: blogs == hip, newsgroups == not hip

I think that the C equivalent of a blog is called a book. Step away from the internet browser :-)

But...But...That means not being on my computer! I really find it harder to read books. I can't seem to search (Ctrl-F) them as fast. ;-)
Lucas McCoy
I think that crosses the mind of every computer-person when reading books!

Looks like it's going to be an excellent blog. It's written by Jørgen Ibsen of http://www.ibsensoftware.com/.

OMG, an up-to-date blog about C! I didn't think they existed anymore.
Lucas McCoy
Turns out your the only one to list a C blog.

I go back to the 90s with C. I'll write more if people will read.

That thing about books was explained to by a friend (jacox): "You can't grep a dead tree."

I upvoted, so start writing more blog post! ;-)
Lucas McCoy
I'm super-interested in a C blog... so get posting.
