Martin,

Maybe post it to this list... I really shouldn't be doing anything other than 
revision for the rest of May :)

Oh, and the Stallman comment was in a personal email.

Regards,
Tom

Ahoy,

Further to my grumpy rant, here is some of my own work for people to
dissect and criticise :)

'The Hacker Ethic and Meaningful Work', my undergraduate dissertation in
Philosophy. In it I tried to develop a unified hacker / free software
ethic that addresses the question of meaningful work, highlighting a few
conceptual problems along the way. I then tried to clarify and answer
some of them with the Marxist theory of alienation.

Comments are appreciated, as I intend to clean it up and see if I can't
get it published somewhere this summer (if it's good enough).

Some random fun trivia on it: Stallman described it as "deeply flawed",
but said he didn't have time to explain why. I suspect it begins with the
word "Marx" :)

Regards,
Tom
