TODO:
The original plan was to use sqlite to store, search and retrieve the card data. I decided against this when I discovered
that sqlite stores all data as a string. Why they do this makes no sense to me, it seems horribly inefficent.
So I've decided to code my own data structures, linked lists, binary trees and such.
