... and to something completely different, namely a (not-so-serious) approach at C and C++ things, but one which I employ successfully: "If it doesn't work, try adding an asterisk. If it still wont' work, try another asterisk, or maybe an ampersand.". Oversimplified of course, but pretty fitting.

One of my main goals was to learn and be familiar with C memory management, and I also needed a update creation tool, so two birds with one stone. If you look at the source, you can clearly see that I just wanted to "try stuff out". For example, I used a union for no reason.
