Filling the old brain up

I’m on a course today (on a break right now) – getting a bit of input on QBE Vision, the Visual Basic-like programming language. Probably need a bit of input, too – it’s been ages since I did anything much in Visual Basic. Well, ages in this business means more than six months, at least with a brain like mine – leaks like a sieve. Actually, that’s the wrong metaphor, a leak gives teh impression that the information is semi-irredeamably lost. My brain is more like a library (what other metaphor would I use?) – the information is in there somewhere, but once it hasn’t been checked out for a while, a book get’s relegated to the archives in the basement, sometimes never to see light of day again. And sometimes a book gets put back in the wrong spot and is lost for weeks, months or years, until I go to look for something just which happens to have its right spot next to this wrong spot, and dislodge the misplaced volume and wealths of knowledge I didn’t know I had with it.

Rambling…

Break over.

Sound of the moment: something from Grease, I think, but I can’t quite put my finger on it
Age of the moment: 25 (back to when I first started really programming)
