MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab in 1971. My hobbies include affection,
international folk dance, flying, cooking, physics, recorder, puns,
science fiction fandom, and programming; I magically get paid for doing
the last one.
About a year ago i split up with the PDP-10 computer to
which i was married for ten years. We still love each other, but the
world is taking us in different directions. For the moment I still live
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, among our old memories. “Richard Stallman”
is just my mundane name; you can call me “rms”.

The words are from a great man “Richard Stallman”, pioneer of GNU projects.

The highlighted phrase ” I magically get paid for doing the last one” is notable. One user in ILUGC has commented as “Whether he is paid or not, he would still do programming.. because, programming is a hobby for geeks.”

aptly said…
