That's because it's the lazy solution. :-P

Often with programming though, the lazy solution is the best solution. Why spend days working on something when the tools are at your disposal to do it in hours?

Of course it's less of a short term lazy and more of a long term laziness. More work in the short term pays of in when you get to use that chunk of rock solid reusable code to complete a project before a deadline.

In this case its even better because someone else made all the reusable code, and you just get to plug right in.
If I weren't in the middle of a project I'd offer more help, but as it is, I really shouldn't even be posting right now. Resumes to send out, a database interface class to knock the bugs out of, then implementation of all the libraries I've written into a beautiful new code-base for the site that was in my signature so that I don't shudder every time I peek at its code.
(Funny how something you wrote a year ago can turn your stomach. I don't think that there is a single bit of
reusable code in the entire thing..., but that will change MUAHAHAHA.)
