Friday Five
To make up for my lack of blogging activity lately, here's a special treat (well, sort of...). Here're my first Firday Fives!
  1. What drinking water do you prefer -- tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?

    Definitely not tap. Bottled water is expensive, although I do like Volvic. I must say, our little Brita filter does a decent job.

  2. What are your favorite flavor of chips?

    Salt and vinegar

  3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?

    Hmm... one of my random irrepeatable stews, perhaps? Or maybe my ice cream...

  4. How do you have your eggs?

    Being a male and thus lacking an ovary, I must rely on a female volunteer to supply eggs, should they ever become necessary...

  5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?

    A real meal...as in, a home cooked meal? Must've been Stephanie's cooking, and I'm sure it was yummy as usual.



Is hacking an art, science, or engineering?

It's been my opinion for a while that hacking (of the programming/coding kind) is more of an art than science or engineering, and that I'm more of an artist than a scientist or engineer. There's no scientific method to programming to warrant the title of "science", and the process of writing software is so dynamic and open to creativity that it doesn't seem like "engineering". Occasionally, I come across others who are trying to push the same idea.
