I really need to finish this project. I've been working on it for the last month, and I think that the design is all hunky dory. The only problem is turning what I know to be a correct design into working code, and then fixing all the parts of the design that were simply WRONG.

Grr.

Actually, I think all my earlier prototypes weeded out the bad bits. Except the part where the design says "And then a miracle occurs."

Anyway, all is going well, when it's going. It takes a while to get into "writing code" mode, and it's hard to avoid being distracted in a house with two very active and imaginitive kids, a frazzled wife, a neurotic cat, sixty thousand llamas, the Royal Canadian Bikini Marching Band, and a carton of ice cream. (Ice cream's almost gone.)

Um, yeah.

So, kids, wife, and cat are all asleep now. Now I need to shift back into coding mode.

Yeah.

OK. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. gcc for Harry, England, and St. George.
