I don't always have the luxury at $work

This is never the case for code or technical reasons. It is sometimes the case for licensing and legal reasons. If so, you should go right to you manager and say, “Look, this is a 10 month project and it’s going to be of pretty low to mediocre quality in the end and not cover some parts because I couldn’t figure out how to stop the segfaults. Or we could do this for free in a half hour today–” I’m not being an a$$ or snarky remarking about the quality. If you could do it better than, or even half as well as, the solution recommended by afoken, you wouldn’t have to ask questions here. You would already know more than the rest of us about it.

As a learning exercise, it’s terrific though.
