“Computer Science is a terrible name for this business. First of all it’s not a science; it might be engineering or it might be art…. Computer so-called Science has a lot in common with magic” - Harold Abelson

What can be lost in the neverending march of the software disciplines is that it is still quite the unique entry in the many endeavours of man.

Programming was; and still is a lot like sorcery. We write spells in a precise language that we call programs. The programs provide instructions for spirits we call processes to perform arcane tasks.

We have brought these spirits into every facet of our lives. They carry our voices for great distances. They buy and sell goods on our behalf. They play games with us. They cause great strife and great joy.

Through it all, we seem to forget that the monuments we built were built with magic. The wisdom of Sorcerors and Sorceresses before us; and our own effort on top has brought us here. And after us; the young sorcerors will take our wisdom even further.

The purpose of this website is not only to advertise myself and my projects (computer related or otherwise) to the world but to serve as a constant personal reminder that the Arcane is forever young; and programming will never lose its magic.
