There goes an old saying, "if you want something done then you got to do it yourself". This has been so true in the field of programming. This is one of the reasons why I like the open source model. I found a c++ library, genprog that completely suits my need in preference to galib although the amount of bugs running around in the thing is significant to a week or so in fixes and the last update on the thing was sometime in 1994. So I'm left to 2 options, fix all bugs and tell the maintainer or start my own library and release it myself.

I finally found the secret to getting work done, a healthy diet, plenty of excercise and the occasional lifestyle change. I'm aiming for 100 pushups straight by the end of the month, my alltime record is 120 back in the martial arts days. Ever since my bike rusted and snapped in half while I was riding it a few years ago and ran out of money for buying luxury item food, my productivity has fallen, and it's only taken me 3 or so years to figure that out.
