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…

After long time, i was again actively pursuing my technical knowledge. And now, i have decided to pen down my experiences in this blog. This blog is exclusively for my technical articles & thoughts and would not contain any other contents, like political etc.

The idea came across for two reasons.

1. I thougth, that whatever i do, it should be documented somewhere so that it would be useful for myself later, and also to others.

2. I came across a number of such technical blogs and found it very useful at some times. This has inspired me to have my own technical blog.

I have decided to blog only my technical experiences and if at all, i come across any other contents, i would blog it only on experimenting myself. This decision is because, i have to validate the authenticity of my content and also it drives me to learn more and more.

My only wish at present is that i should be able to blog consistently without any gaps, so that, i would be always updated in technology and also i would have contributed some contents on my part to the technological community, particularly the open source.

What are the fields that i would be working on?

I cant tell in advance, but, i have decided to include all those technical areas that interests me… right from a simple mechanical field to my software field, and from windows to my favourite open source. I will be involved mostly on open source related projects, and i would like to take it towards our next generation.
