Experiment. Works? Thesis. No? Start over.

**My current situation at the moment.

Pseudocode just for kicks:

while(start_over) {

   while ((good_data = read(experiment, data, sizeof(data)) > 0) {

      write(thesis, good_data);

      start_over = false;

   }

}

graduate_with_MS();

Now I just need to invest in some solid bug spray.

[purplepepper]
