Well sir,
If you are looking for sheer talent, you have come to the right place. I
am the creator of the legendary "hm" command, as well as the future KDE
GUI for the program apt-get. The source for "hm" or home as it is
pronounced is available on usenet, just do a google search for
mikecoxlinux and the "home command".
I am also a web developer specializing in linux information including the
well regarded porting legacy linux apps to .net series. Visit my site at:
http://www.geocities.com/mikecoxlinux/
I work for free, and if your project is open source I will code you a
solution and post it to usenet for you to download and compile.
sincerely,
Mike Cox

Anyhow: He said he'd work for free!
Give him something small but useful to write and verify the quality and speed of his work
for yourself.

<nmbzdrdl5dod$.1ux7mqmuo3wld$.dlg@40tude.net>:
The funny bit is: he wrote it for Unix. I hope
he's figured out by now that, apart from trying to
do something esoteric like ptrace() the process and
throw an interrupt/trap on its behalf (that would be an
interesting hack, if possible, but gdb can do it, why not
a programmer?) it's not possible for a child process to
change the current directory of its parent, rendering
his 'hm' command a curiosity, but not much more.
(I've a vaguely similar problem, which I solved in a much
simpler fashion: I use backticks. I keep my source code
and object code area separate, mostly because I wanted
at one point to be able to develop for multiple hardware
platforms [I have a SPARC, for example]. So I got into
the habit of typing in "cd `objectdir`" or "cd `srcdir`"
after writing appropriate scripts that simply print out
the new directory name on standard output after analyzing
the current one. I suppose I could have used aliases as
well but this works for me.)
There are also a few other technical problems with his,
erm, work. (I'll leave you to discover them, although
I've pointed out most of them in another post anyway. :-) )

It was THE programming language and program at the
beginning. He distributed it on punch paper tape in the
days when the input device was a tty33 (an old mechanical
teletype.) CPM was the operating system at the time, around
1977, and his first brush with notoriety was when he
published a manifesto ripping those who were ripping him by
copying those tapes. I don't think he has changed much.
Later it evolved into GeeWhizBasic (GWbasic.) Its probably
the reason that BASIC is still alive.

Microsoft is a heck of an economic empire, at that -- but that
doesn't mean their product is better. I'll admit, though, I'm
not entirely sure what to think regarding our schooling system(s),
if it is the case that most millionaires and billionaires did
not come from our higher learning centers. Then again, I'd
have to research the issue.
(Presumably BG got the usual gradeschool ed at least, though.)
