Okay now. It is a long time since I sent a non technical mail for technical people.
Right now my life is revolving around hacking just as it did since 2003. Hacking is the art of programming in such a way that you enjoy it so much that you lose your interest in everything else. In order to attain that joy and gratification one has to patiently learn programming for many many years. Just coding and doing some work for the sake of doing some college project or fulfilling some professional need cannot be qualified as hacking. That is just contract labor. Hacking happens when you solve a problem for your own personal need; to improve your productivity, to upload your photographs to facebook after writing a script with ImageMagick convert(1) or using mplayer or mpg3info to process your audios or some such thing. Hacking enhances the richness and quality of life, the same way Hindu religion gives us so many different richness all around us thereby defining an entire nation and even many nations. Hacking is the art of coding using scientific principles and mathematical accuracy with the artistic elegance of a painter. Alright now I really have to get back to work. Hacking that is. Have fun. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech http://gayatri-hitech.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
