Photos in this Journal
Only testing the installed new hack. Now the work begins in updating the journal with past photos I had planned to upload, photos of family get-togethers, photos of kids plays, photos of our cats, photos of our house, photos of little nothings, photos… .
This reminds me of a great Photo Journal I’ve come across yesterday. Actually it was quite depressing, it was so good. IT being the unique look of the site and the quality of his photos. This right after I thought that I had done a good job with the design of my own journal. I have a long way to go, challenges never end.
In case you where wondering what hack means, read on.
hack v.
[jargon] 1. Originally, a quick job that produces what is needed, but not well.
2. An incredibly good, and perhaps very time-consuming, piece of work that produces exactly what is needed.
3. To bear emotionally or physically. "I can’t hack this heat!"
4. To work on something (typically a program). In an immediate sense: "What are you doing?" "I’m hacking TECO." In a general (time-extended) sense: "What do you do around here?" "I hack TECO." More generally, "I hack "foo"" is roughly equivalent to ""foo" is my major interest (or project)". "I hack solid-state physics." See Hacking X for Y.
5. To pull a prank on. See hacker.
6. To interact with a computer in a playful and exploratory rather than goal-directed way. "Whatcha up to?" "Oh, just hacking."
7. Short for hacker.
8. See nethack.
9. (MIT) To explore the basements, roof ledges, and steam tunnels of a large, institutional building, to the dismay of Physical Plant workers and (since this is usually performed at educational institutions) the Campus Police. This activity has been found to be eerily similar to playing adventure games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Zork. See also vadding.
See also neat hack, real hack.
