Nooo.... I found it ages ago. It just seemed appropriate here. :-P

I find it "interesting" that somebody who can comprehend something is
complex and counterintuitive as electrical engineering would be baffled
by something as simple and logical as Haskell. But there we are...
Hmm, now I just find myself doubting my Haskell exposition skills. :-S
Anyway, it least *somebody* was moderately impressed with something I
did. Even if I did copy the algorithm out of a book...

I was impressed too, but I usually only poke my head in around here long enough
for people to say, "Who was that guy?" so I didn't say anything. Maybe try
turning a project into people something people can use. Put the ball in
someone else's court, then you don't have to worry about, "Now what?"

Maybe it's because I learnt electrical engineering over a period of many
years... I've only known about Haskell since you mentioned it on here and
never made much effort to really study it.

You just can't expect people to heap praise on you on the interwebs because
you did something interesting, period. And the ability to appreciate the
greatness of a "logic predicate solver" (whatever that is) isn't exactly
mainstream, even for this group. Now, if you had a side business selling
Star Wars figurines made from your own dried boogers, you'd have a better
feedback for sure :D

Well, start by using a spell-checker and double-checking everything you
write for factual accuracy. If your fly is wide open, people are going to
notice *** that *** instead of admiring your gorgeous Armani suit ;)

Wait... You're telling me I'm too geek even for pov-ray.off-topic? o_O
Woah. I think I need to sit down...

Hmm. If only I could make the spell checker in Thunderbird work again...

My problem with losing motivation isn't because nobody says "hey that's
cool". It's because I find yet another cool idea, and abandon what I was
doing previously. Then those unfinished projects accumulate.
About your problem... Make a program to simulate "that's cool" newsgroup
posts? :)
