Yaarrrr! It's the zombie thread that just won't die.
When I first posted in this thread it was Nov 4th, 2002, and I was 26. Now I am 29. Still living in the hokeynagan, but I plan to move to lotusland (ie: Vancouver) by the summer.
I am a 49 year old guy, Father of 3 with 2 grown and gone.
Was a Unix Admin in a past life, with Sun, HP, Apollo (ever hear of that one?), Ultrix, Linux (Slackware, RedHat) for 6 or 10 years, depending on whether you count the work without the job title.
I like guitar, motorcycles ('85 K100 RT), programming, and I get to dabble in electronics designing microcontroller projects.
Have worked from home for the last 5 years (South Carolina), but it is iffy whether I will continue to be able to do that. It has been wonderful, though, because I have participated thoroughly in the raising of my now 3.5 year old daughter.
Glad you all are here, this looks like a great place to learn.
The young ages just amaze me (for someone who had a TRS-80 ("Trash 80") originally and began programming in BASIC in the 1970s). The stories I could tell... Now, back in my day...
Wow, we've come a long way in just twenty-five years. I can only imagine what computer science and the Internet will evolve to in another twenty-five. Maybe I'll check back on this thread then in some form.
