So, I woke up at the ungodly hour of 5:00 am so that I could have my shower and get dressed and catch a bus downtown for an 8:00 am breakfast meeting of the local Montreal Tech Entrepreneurs group. I gather that Google is going to be there and make a presentation or something today, as well. I do really enjoy these geeky breakfasts, even if I have to get up at a truely stupid hour.

What gets me down though is that at 5:00 am there is no water pressure because a very large number of folks are also getting up and having their showers then. I seriously doubt that they'll all be at the meet up, so I greatly fear that this is their regular time to get up. Whatever happened to the promise of flex hours and the end of rush-hour that the information age was supposed to bring, huh?

Rushed

In my youth I could wake up, get dressed, grab a bite to eat and be out the door in just over 15 minutes (I later discovered that such a morning rush was one of the things making me miserable, but that's another story).

Nowadays 1 hr 45 minutes seems really rush, and on that note, unless I pick up the pace, I'm gonna be late.

Oops.

I just came across a glaring flaw in my library design. This flaw may actually make the entire project moot, as in, I'm not not sure how practical and/or usable the library would be because of this.

I'm not giving up yet, but its clear I need to give some serious thought to some aspects of what I plan to do.

Okay, so having spent the entire day mulling it over, I've come to the conclusion that the C++ library I want to write is doable and is worth writing. Its just a whole heck of a lot more complex than I first conceived. At least now I have an answer to the question of "If its such a good idea for a boost library, why hasn't anyone written it yet?"

So, yikes. I'm beginning to think that I'll need to start writing design notes soon. Its rapidly reaching the point where all the major bits won't fit in my head anymore.
