My wife is a survivor. Diagnosis came, she told doctor fuck this shit, fuck cancer. Take my breasts, figure out the chemo that will kill me and raise it a bit. I'm a bad ass, fuck this this. 4 years holding up a finger so far.

I refuse whiteboard interviews. I've walked out several times. One company invited me back for another try without the whiteboard and eventually offered me a position.

Just a few, 56.
My first console was an Atari 2600. Still play a 2600+ in the front room. I've also written a game or two under the Homebrew flag.
I really do miss the 80s. It was a good time to be a teenager.

My first Commodore was the VIC-20.
It was a great machine. Used tapes. The first game I broke the copy protection on was a Lemonade Stand game on tape for that machine.
I later ran The Syrnia BBS to distribute my C64 trophies.

I try to leave mine on all the time on my phone. It seems that companies are anti-vpn these days and I find myself turning it off and on again a lot. Hypocrites, really. Since I'm certain they have their own staffs using it to work remotely.

I started with FoxPro for DOS. Picked up FoxPro for SCO UNIX, System 7 on Macintosh, Windows. Moved on to VFP. It was a good 10+ year run for me. In 2002, I was forced to move to .NET and C#. C# has been very good to me. There is a rumor that LINQ was directly inspired by FoxPro.
