Well, it appears that the error in my code that was dragging my computer to a standstill was solved by the following. This is when I hate being a programmer...

Imagine trying to find where that line above is missing from over six thousand lines of code... The feeling of futility that just washed over you is pretty much how I feel about my thesis 24/7 these days. But damnit, when I finish it, it'll be cool.

The phrase of the day (<insert idea shamelessly stolen from Jared here>): "Who'd-a thunk?"
