Pointers are fun

It turns out that Steve was right, programming ability isn't like a fine wine. It does not get better with age just fermenting without use.

This is pretty clear to anyone who thinks for a couple of seconds but it becomes even clearer when one tries to remember the ins and outs of C++ pointers. They have been my bane since high school. I finally really got them in college, which was a great feeling. But somehow, like most of my collegiate knowledge, it has escaped me in the last few years.
