For my 30th I was given a framed Lister illustration.  Here is the man at work.

Giles: I mean this mini apps things, right, I’m just going to code up whatever comes in my mind. But when it comes to music, I was passionate about music when I was 15. I’ll probably be passionate about music when I’m fifty. I was writing Basic when I was 11. I’m writing Ruby today. I’ll probably be writing some kind of code when I’m 50. That’s a luxury that I have because this is a genuine passion. And it’s also a luxury you have with anything that you’re doing with open source software and commodity hardware.
