Programming stuff

I've decided that (for me anyway) the best stuff to listen to when programming is electronic music.  Which makes sense I guess.  It seems I am not the only one with this opinion either.  My two favorite albums right now are Aphex Twin's "Drukqs" and Squarepusher's "Hello Everything". 

It seems I never get any good time to sit and program anymore (or do much of anything really), and it's great to be able to sit down, write some code, and listen to this stuff.  Even if only for a little while.

My project right now is a data structure for use in future programs.  It was actually originally designed in Perl (since I am quite a bit more comfortable with Perl), but I am writing it in C++.  It works in Perl already, though only the basic parts of it.  The C++ is proving to be quite a bit more complex, but part of that is the fact that I am changing the design a bit in the port.  It will be more useful in this functionality.

I have written some of it, but am waiting to figure out how I want it all done.  I really hate writing a bunch of stuff only to discover the design was bad, and I need to start over (or at the very least, backtrack a great deal).  So I am plotting it out and deciding exactly what structures will hold what, and how the different operations will work.  So far I like it, and I don't think I have any ideas that will be too hard to code yet.

Thats about it.  Work is the same (except I get to work in the area I want a bit more for the coming 2 weeks, which is cool).  Nothing really to report.

If you are interested in the above named albums though, I would suggest at the very least listening to "Vordhosbn" on the Aphex Twin one, and "Planetarium" on the Squarepusher one.  Probably my favorites from the two albums.
