Past few months, I've been getting sick of the work I'm doing. It's all about making the moolah. While I've made some moolah, the work keeps becoming more "regular".

There have been a couple of firsts. I've worked on a production level Java project for the first time. But there have also been first hand situations that demanded my time. And when I couldn't give time to the things I wanted to, it hurt bad!

So out of this crisis, I've made a small change in the way I work. Instead of doing just about anything that comes my way, and taking that as a challenge, I'll filter the work. I get a LOT of work requests these days and most of the stuff is quite ordinary.

I wanna do something outside the ordinary. That's led me to dabble a bit into non-regular computer languages like Go and Erlang. Digging deeper into them has fascinated me. The whole challenge of building highly scalable - high-availability web services has fascinated me. I may be a Computer Science grad, but I'm not a very technical guy. I don't like talking about memory addresses. Gives me the goosebumps. I decided long ago I'll get into Windows product development and then my foray into web applications happened, and I haven't looked back since.

Cutting the story short, I wanna dig deeper into the world of imperative programming!

To celebrate that, here's a snippet in Erlang for calculating the factorial for a number:

Ain't that sweet?
