Personal project: Exact odds calculation algo and system for Betfair’s Exchange Hi Lo card game. Haskell and C. Sadly found that no liquidity available at calculated odds: https://github.com/jpcooper/betfair-exchange-hi-lo-odds
Most recently doing: Data acquisition, analysis and development in cryptocurrency, betting. Python and Pandas mostly.
Looking for: Interesting work fitting with my background. Not bound to any particular technology or ideology and have a record of picking new ones up quickly.

I'm in Istanbul, currently working on a couple of projects in crypto. Let me know if you're also in Istanbul (or not) and want to work on something fun together in crypto, betting or similar. Address in profile.
Law and application seem to differ/lag somewhat. Each influences the other. It’s worth being aware that neither fully determines the other, and that each evolves in parallel. We live in an organic world where things are not as well defined and predictable as the typical programmer might wish. To thrive, one must dirty oneself in the actual code, rather than get bogged down in the terminology of the man page.
Also worth following on Soundcloud for old school jungle, with lots of mixes from back in the day: https://soundcloud.com/ethereal94. The ones from "KOOL - 94.5FM" (straight out of Clapton) are well worth listening to.
The Sir John Soane's museum, my favourite museum in London, houses the Sarcophagus of King Seti I. The guy who took it from Egypt, Giovanni Belzoni, engraved his signature on it.
I learnt a good bit of C++ by going through Elements of Programming Interviews, trawling through cppreference.com and getting help from #C++ on FreeNode for the difficult parts. Coming from mainly functional languages, I actually found it quite fun going through cppreference.com and seeing all the interesting ways in which C++ does things. Especially the STL.
Pick an interesting project and continue in that vein. The biggest difficulty for me was understanding the memory model and all the different types of value, references and so on, but #C++ was again a brilliant resource for smart pointers to good articles on the difficult subjects.
Professional C++ programmers might have other opinions on how best to learn.
