[nzlug] New term: tinkerer

[Andrew Errington]

No, IMHO "hacker" is the right word.  I don't care if it's been co-opted
by the media.  I am a hacker.  I hack on stuff until it works.  Sometimes

the process of making something, either from nothing, or from something
else.  Tinkering is just fiddling with something for the sake of it,
almost akin to "pottering".
