| I'm Paul. I like GNU/Linux. A lot. I've been using since 2001, and I've without any sort of non-free operating system since 2005. I like programming a whole lot. I can't really dance well, but I can do a mean robot. I love music and can play a few instruments. Also skiing, I do that too. | Once, a famous Windows system administrator came to Master Foo and asked him for instruction: “I have heard that you are a powerful Unix wizard. Let us trade secrets, that we may both gain thereby.” |

| Some ask me what I'm into. I think algorithmic efficiency, low overhead algorithms, distributed algorithms and swarm behavior are some of the coolest things ever. Embedded stuff rocks too. Boohyeah. | Master Foo said: “It is good that you seek wisdom. But in the Way of Unix, there are no secrets.” The administrator looked puzzled at this. “But it is said that you are a great Unix guru who knows all the innermost mysteries. As do I in Windows; I am an MCSE, and I have many other certifications of knowledge not common in the world. I know even the most obscure registry entries by heart. I can tell you everything about the Windows API, yes, even secrets those of Redmond have half-forgotten. What is the arcane lore that gives you your power?” Master Foo said: “I have none. Nothing is hidden, nothing is revealed.” Growing angry, the administrator said “Very well, if you hold no secrets, then tell me: what do I have to know to become as powerful in the Unix way as you?” Master Foo said: “A man who mistakes secrets for knowledge is like a man who, seeking light, hugs a candle so closely that he smothers it and burns his hand.” |
