I got U3 working, and I love it, but I'm working out the kinks on the rest of my thumb drive programs, like Code::Blocks; see next paragraph.

I've installed Code::Blocks on my Cruzer - it's easier to call it by its model name than "USB drive" or "thumb drive", and it sounds cooler - but I can't get it to see the MinGW compiler I installed there too. That means, I can't compile any programs! I tried getting MinGW to work with SciTE - a text editor I only picked up because it has decent Lua highlighting, and it's easy to point it to a lua compiler - but even when I point its C++ compiler setting to the compiler executable, it tosses a gazillion errors at me - all sprouting from me including . -_-

So, now I'm on the GameDev IRC channel, scrounging around for help getting this to work. (Code::Blocks, not SciTE, please) I guess I'll be able to get back to real programming when I come back from vacation... that's in 8 days.
