Hey I do the best I can with the tools I'm given, when the compiler stops 
giving me warnings AND the code does what I want it to do AND I'm reasonably 
confident that there won't be any coredumps due to segment violations, that's 
when I stop farting around with it.

After all there's more to life than just writing code, I have to go sailing, go 
fishing, take photos, watch planets and stars and Messier objects with my 
telescope, and drink beer as well! ... oh yeah, there's something called work 
as well... whatever the hell that is!  :^)
