I *enjoy* what I do - it's just that after I've done it, it feels 
horribly hollow.

It's like, the other day I build a logic predicate solver. I was really 
excited. I mentioned it here, and one person told me that I can't spell 
"cleaver", and another told me I'd reinvented Prolog. Yay for me. :-\

It would just be nice if now and then I could do something that actually 
*impresses* somebody...
