So, which are you?

I started as the typical 13 year old hacker ... about 30 years ago. I had access to some "big iron" back then, and some people were helpful/foolish enough to allow me to use it. Yes, those were the days -- saving your monster 200-line basic game program to paper tape from a 300 (or was it 110?) baud terminal and hoping you could read it back in later; wrangling with the punch card machine; threading reel-to-reel tapes; hand mounting disk packs; grabbing passwords off of printouts carelessly cast into the trash (really).

Now I have a BS and MS in CompSci, so I guess it's both. I think just having one or the other would cause me to have gaps in perspective/knowledge (i.e. I think both are beneficial). So I should have no excuse for not knowing what I'm doing. Of course I still make excuses...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
