Ya know, I often say that I was born jes' a might bit early to have been able to choose some IT job. Heck, nearly ever'thin' dealin' with computers when I was in college had somethin' to do with punchin' bunches of cards and feedin' 'em into IBM 360 mainframes. However, with the advent of PCs, I have found several alternative careers that are now available that I might have chosen had such been available back in the day. However, accordin' to this little ditty I found over at Oz Guru's, computer programmin' ain't really changed all that much over the years.
*Actually, becomin' a best sellin' author was in my mind, even then. I am still hopin' it becomes an eventuality, but if it don't, I still have loads of ammunition in my tear ducts.

Seriously, if you can run this blog as well as you do then you are more technical than some of my former students :-)

Posted by: Ozguru at November 16, 2004 09:06 PMSheesh! The most technical thing 'bout this blog is my title graphic. I am quite proud of it. But then again, those Nightly Navel Gazin' Reports™ do sometimes tend to get quite technical, don't they? ;)
