[thelist] Professional Philosopy

[James Wampler]

While this is an awfully profound topic for this early in the morning, I
will see if I can't frame a coherent answer.  My current job, and I do
consider it a job, not a career, is for a state agency working on their web
page.  I put in my 8 hours everyday, then go home and work on my passion,
which is my home network.

I have a small five computer network, running an amalgamation of Windows,
Linux, and Mac OS.  I spend hours trying to get all five machines to play
nice with each other, much to my girlfriends dismay, and sometimes succeed.
Mostly, I just like to tinker with new things, learn new technologies, which
is what got me started in web development in the first place.  That is my
passion.  My job just keeps me in hard drives and RAM.
