I've had a love-hate relationship with computers over the years.
It's fascinating how different inventions and realizations over the years has enabled to create the computer. I aspire to understand the underlying beauty behind this creation and contribute to it in whatever way I can.
As the years roll on, my love for computer systems deepens. I wish to share some of it with you, kind visitor.
Viva la open-source movement!
