spiritual programming...

...is my goal.

i love to code. i love to write down expressions that make up information. i love to type an elite language of expressions and functions and object-oriented poetry. i love to code.

i love to read code. i read code more than i read novels or poetry or news. i read code for the same reasons: enjoyment, education, to be informed, to expand myself.

i love to think, as i'm reading "
for(int i =0;i<lables.getLength();i++){
out.print("< tr><td><%= lable.getname() =%></td><td><%= lable.getid() =%></td></tr>}" that i'm speaking a secret language that only a handful of people know. i'm in a club. note:I probably made a mistake here. I just did it quick and didn't debug. It doesn't actually do anything anyway.

maybe i'm being an elitist, but i love it. i love so many different languages, it's hard to pick a favorite. because it is, i only get so good an any one language. good enough to do 80% of what needs to be done, but not good enough to do the 20% that earns the real money. but i do it all:
CSS, HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, JSP, Java, Python, XML, XSL, XSLT, and even little bit of Perl. i love it.

it really is a passion. i'm starting to spend way too much time with code. i think it's becoming an escape.

...of course, it's nice to have an escape that can pay $80k/year. I'm sure that's why drug dealers do it.
