And how do you see yourself?

I was baking this post in the back of my head for about half a year. Two events finally forced to convert it into writing - google admitting a breakin and my discovery of a particular FAA site.

This path surely involves lots of experimentations, some failures and some successes, lots of thinking, analyzing, more or less correct presumptions, causes and effects, etc. In general, I developed my own sistematic approach to a problem. Each new solution always consists of past expiriences and here is where my gripe lies.
