Okay, you've learned my secret. I'm a sucker for thinking up new 
features for my stacks. After all, I use them all day, every day. I 
know just enough to get theoretically ideas... And I know so little 
that it takes me forever to get them to work right. And then it takes 
another eternity to fix all the stuff I accidentally broke when I 
added the new feature. Thank God it's object oriented, or it would 
never work at all!

The really embarrassing part -- often I never use the clever new 
features I write. I sometimes find them by accident, years later, 
when I'm solving some other problem. Sometimes they still work!

Does this make me a geek, a nerd, obsessive-compulsive, or all of the above?


Cheers,


Tim
