Are we there yet?

Maybe today will be the day I can put it behind me. I doubt it, but it sure would be nice to arrive at that place where software runs the way its intended to, where library calls work as documented, where the logical solution is the solution that actually works. Maybe today.

In other less depressing news, I've decided to start playing chess. I'm only playing against the PC (gnuchess, to be exact) and I'm really not good at all, but maybe over time it will help me keep my brain from shrinking.
