truth? beauty?
Information is not knowledge
knowledge is not wisdom
wisdom is not truth
truth is not beauty
beauty is not love
love is not music
music is the best
(Frank Zappa)
Sorry, couldn't resist ;^)

...actually, I think my definition of "beautiful" is simple, correct, consistent, and complete. (Also see "tensegrity")

Although I would prefer the term "elegant", at least in regards to code.

It also made sense to Keats. Maybe you're a Romantic
at heart.
`Beauty is truth, truth beauty, -- that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'

I just noticed your signature quote
Ode on a Grecian Urn
links to a page on the Dundee University (Scotland) website, which is where I studied art, and currently take Saturday classes in Chinese.
coincidence?
update:Thanks ronald - I knew it wasn't a signature - don't know why i wrote that!

Small world (wide web). That's not really my sig -- it's just
a reference to the poem where those two lines come from,
courtesy of Google. I'm not affiliated with Dundee University
or the web site.
Still, it is a funny coincidence!

Maybe it's because we're both artists.
Romantic? I do try, but usually fail.

Beauty as well, though I guess
more correctly "elegance".
It is sad that we now have
"top" and bottom" instead of
"truth" and "beauty" (quarks).
(Of course I also disagree with
the RGB system ;-)
