Lucky you. Piles of paperwork is being made for me at this very moment.
Rejoice. Either that or I'm headed out for a smoke. |

I studied computer programming back in the 1990s - C, anyone? C++ was just being introduced, so for object-oriented programming we used Simula (which was invented by professors at my university).
World Wide Web was introduced in those days as well, and some of my fellow students had a webpage with their lecture timetable. Text only, because the img tag hadn't been invented yet. I couldn't see the point of having such a list for myself, so I didn't make one. I only learnt HTML a few years later.

I don't want to know where the papercuts are, Sane... or why you're handling paper there...
I learned some C++ in high school in... 2004 I think... don't remember a lick of it now, but I remember it was fun... and then we learned html...

I taught myself html in the 90s (in 5th grade) but I didn't really do anything in between then and college. I only know java now (probably going to learn C++ next semester or next year), and html/css/php and javascript, but those aren't real programming. I'm kind of sad I missed so much of the early days of computers.
I also have been bad about having tea time every day like I did for a while. I'm drinking tea now but it doesn't quite feel like tea time. |

I love this time of the year with my cardinals. They're just getting their feathers in, and they look so sloppy and self-conscious.

Well, this is going to take getting used to... Goodbye, my 'Elvishly' long hair that I had for well, 8 to 10 years or so. It's going to be strange to suddenly have so much less to braid. But at least my cut 30 cm of hair should make a nice donation to the national cancer research fund before being turned into a wig.
At least now there will be less for the kitten to chew on. Tea anyone?

In one case my Dad didn't even notice (at least not comment) - I suppose he was so used to seeing it only to my shoulders anyway, the rest of it was down my back. Tea, please!
