inode_buddha's Journal: getting older *way* too fast here...

'Nother b-day rapidly approaching, gonna be 36 yrs. W00t! (sorta). There's _way_ too much shit going on; most of the guys at work are new now, but they might have to lay off again. I plan to be elsewhere by then cuz unemployed holidays suck. Thinking to go west or to the Pacific. It doesn't help that my entire industry got outsourced 20 yrs ago. getting older still: I remember when Dad was engineering prof. at the Uni Illinois, champaign-urbana. (bout 1972) He turned 36, and had time on the school's 4070 mainframe. I had a ball learning punch cards. the idea of abstraction to a series of symbols was fascinating. Cooking up a new version of SteigenLinux, the old site is just embarassing now. The landlord just asked me to leave, so that'll delay things a bit. Playing with the 2.6-test kernels lately, its gonna rock. No I don't care a hoot bout the SCO thing either. I read the stuff but I'm not worried.
