Getting older sucks

Really... it does.

I don't feel a day over 12. I don't act it either, so why should my driver's license (the one with a realy bad picture, I mean *really*) say that I'm 29 now!

I don't want to turn 30.

*sob*

I just turned 29, too. It's not that bad. You get to say things like "I'm 29. The first time.". And you get to remind people about how 30 is technically still part of the 20's, since we don't start counting until 1. At least, I remember figuring that out many Smurf births ago. Maybe it's not. Perhaps I'm just getting old, and not reasoning as well as I used to...

I need to renew my DL. Mine doesn't say anything. It doesn't even make noises.

At the time of your birth, I was in that last, glorious summer before going to Columbia, with my graduation gift, a TI SR-10 and slide rule firmly in hand...talk to me not of old....

Were you underprivilaged? Why didn't they get a real calculator? I think the HP 81A was out then.

I'm sure Kasia's dad had one. That's what the P in RPN means, isn't it?

Think "hex": 29 -> 1D

Oh. Never mind. :-)

Aw, be nice to the first years. Postfix notation parsers are much easier to write than infix notation parsers.

Yes.. which is why I was amazed for getting a grade penalty for writing an infix parser for a binary-tree project as opposed to a postfix one using stacks like everyone else in class did..

.. I didn't make it gui.. (seriously).. Matt, remember that prof? Abdollah..whatever..

Oh lord, the "they're freedom fighters, not terrorsts" psycho bitch.

She wouldn't know good coding if it hit her with a cement truck.

Actually, my favourite of hers was "You cannot write a program to play chess well because cannot store all possible moves in memory". This woman has a phd in CS.. sigh..
