All tremble at weapons; all fear death. Comparing others with oneself,
one should not slay, nor cause to slay.

Thanks for all the advice, good people. I have downloaded what I think I need to start with basic DMOD making - my biggest problem is time, really.
Books are expensive here in the Philippines. Programming books, more so
My father who was one of the first few in my country who studied computer programming (Cobol, I think) when he was young (he's in his 70s) is very much into it - I was about to ask him to send me some programming books from the US. I didn't know it was that expensive! *Sigh* I guess I'd better make do with the tutorials that I find here first.
FYI: I'm building a small, open library for kids and adults in my farm community - to encourage reading, on top of literacy programs (for tribal people) that responsible friends have started.It's not so much for the monetary value but more importantly, the efforts and thoughts poured into books - for me - that make most books sacred. This is in a way how I look at DMODs, and RPGs in general - a product of human intellect and of individuality/identity. I'm hoping I could muster enough brainpower to learn basic programming to pass on to our younger generation. I'm so happy I found this network where people are willing to help out.
