Yeah, the later -- a hobby ...
For me, it first began when a good friend of mine introduced me to
LaTeX and installed a version for DOS onto my computer. Back then,
it's been some years now, I used to consider my simple documents as
"real programs" and wanted to try it all out! 8-) So I got Linux
and started scripting, ending up with Perl. That used to be my
biggest wish -- besides, of course, publishing my first book of poetry!
Well, I've achieved both and have to start thinking about writing a
new one soon. Just that my scripting gets in the way sometimes. It's
a funny mixture, that. Seems like my alter-ego is a hacker!
I'm a student of comparative literature and literature stays
my priority.

had one before), turning hackers into people?
