I've actually been doing a lot less programming lately than I

* Seriously, in the time it takes me to do anything with a
third party library I could have written my own twice over. It
is so tiring to use other people's code.
Plus, if there's a bug, you're stuck. I like to re-invent the
wheel too, because existing wheels might not be fit for your
purpose.
But I rarely read programming blogs and books and so on
anymore, unless something interesting comes across the D group
(and even then I don't read every post anymore like i used to).
I kinda want to get back into writing stuff on my spare time,
especially now that the book is done, but eh, I'm just so lazy
and if given the choice to, for example, go clean up the side
of the road with the missionaries or sitting here reading more
reddit, I'll grab the trash bag and hit the street.
