Bill's Notes

Didn't do so well, or did fine, depending on your perspective.

For the record, at one time or another, I have programmed in BASIC, Pascal, COBOL, Unix shell scripts, C and C effing plus plus. I have partitioned a hard drive into Linux/Windows. I set up a Unix network. I have written a bit of HTML (just a bit). And I wrote a business newsletter that a thousand or so high-level IT execs and sysadmins PAID $200 a year for! I have forced bits and bytes to serve my whim and command, and I have ruled them with an iron fist! So don't tell me that I don't have technical chops, you stupid quiz!

Nonetheless, for reasons that are not entirely clear to me, I possess absolutely no ability to retain technical information. I can't do any of that stuff again. It's like I learn it, figure it out, and forget it just as fast. Sigh. Just as well. /end rant.
