Journeyman Sourceror:
Draughts and Philtres



Journeyman

More than an Apprentice, less than a Master. I'm still learning, still improving my skills.

Sourceror

A pun on Sorcerer. I'm a computer programmer, hence "source code". Also, computer programming is a sort of modern magic.

Draughts

draft: n; v. tr
A preliminary version of something.
To create by thinking and writing; compose.

draught: n
Variant of draft.
A portion (as of medicine) poured out or mixed for drinking.

Philtres

A pun on "filters"
filter: n;
A program that processes an input data stream into an output data stream in some well-defined way,

philtre: n;
A magic potion or charm.


Note: Draughts and philtres are stored in phials (files. :-)
