Got tagged by dk over at his blog for this little meme. This one is quite interesting and brings to mind something that I’ve been meaning to write about for some time. Anyway, I will let the symbol and the corresponding FAQ that goes along with it, to speak for itself.
I choose this symbol because, since young, I have firmly believed in the mindset and attitude that this community follows and stands for. It is also something that I am constantly striving toward and also a source of frustration (which any good driving force should have some).
It has coloured my views on software (open-source), on OS’s (Linux) and even music. Least to say, it has also sparked my interest in computing in general and why I like to tinker and wonder and explore…
The source of frustration, ironically, stems from the fundamental skill of this community. I can do it, have done it, have been taught to it and do enjoy deploying the skill from time to time. But it’s a skill, that I feel, I am not at a level that I should be. Especially at a professional level. And all attempts to improve in this area has proved…frustrating.
In any case, this is a good reminder to not let the skill totally die and that I should still continue to work on the other areas that work together to unify this community.
Wow… chim.
Eh… I almost forgotten that I’ve tagged u.
