I remember, when I was younger, my Grandfather telling me I should write something every day. "Ho ho", thought I, "Why would one ever want to do that?"

As Clifford Stoll says in his very clever TED talk: "The first time you do something, it's science. The second time, it's engineering. The third time, it's just being a technician. I'm a scientist.
