Philosophy

My life philosophy has always been one that can be best described as that of the 'Hacker'. One might also refer to the holder of such a philosophy of life as a 'geek' or avid 'Do-It-Yourself'-er.

One facet of my life philosophy is: When I have the need to do something that I don't know how to do, I learn how to do it - and do it properly - and just do it.

Another facet of my philosophy of life has been that of - whenever possible - helping others help themselves.

Without wading into the quagmire of explaining-to-death the difference between servility and service; here are the Point→N→Click→Help^® Files that I have re-written thus far. More are being re-written as you partake of these.
