what are you doing 5 years ago?

Trying to make some sense out of my life and figure a way out of the pain I was in at the time. It took a while, but that's all behind me now, and I'm a better person for it. :)

Not just you Anna, a lot of people who followed your story have come out better people because of it. :rose:

I took maths at A Level and got a D. If I write these things down it's not a problem, but mental maths has never been my strong point. :doh:

Yeah, as Nish mentioned that would have been around the time of the great Posting Wars, the BLA (an unnoficial association for members with slightly dodgy personal habbits) and wardrobes full of Latex Appendage Suits. :-D According to my profile page[^] I've been a member for 6 years 4 months, but really that was just when the membership system was updated to include the joining date. I believe I was first a member around the end of 1999, but can't remember for sure. I wasn't here at the Big Bang, but I joined in the first months of the site.

well, i was 16 years old and i was doing pre university course then. I was trying to decide on what field to choose to make my career.(either medical or engineering:confused::confused:) i was interested in neither of them. since my childhood, i was more intrested in sports and wanted to become a sports person. i suffered a serious injury at the age of 14. i had a knee surgery in 1999 for the first time, and then had a second surgery on the same in 2001(till now had 3 surgeries on my knee, the third surgery was on 28th sept,2004). And at the age of 16 (in 2001,i.e, 5 years ago), it was confirmed that i can no longer continue playing sports to make a career. it was time for me to choose some other field. so i choose COMPUTERS :) well, i did not want to reveal all these things to anyone here. but the question did remind me of my past.:) A knee injury made me become a programmer. U see, sometimes, little things can change the course of our life :):) -- modified at 7:05 Thursday 16th November, 2006

Legally, or do you mean the mental decision?
Legally, per se... I started the search for an attorney (not sure why I said doctor hmmm), and making the arrangements from my hospital bed. I entered the hospital through the ER on 11/3, I was transferred to Albuquerque on the 12th, my wife and the hospital in Cruces tried to stop the transfer. The hospital in Albuquerque might be able to help me, or at the very least find out exactly what was wrong and how bad it was. But my wife and the hospital both believed it was in my best interest to die peacefully rather than be moved around trying to save me. I barred my wife from the hospital in Albuquerque on the 13th, the 14th she used a false name to call into my room to chew me out, and on the 15th I started looking for a lawyer.

I like this question because, as I'm sure is the case for many of us, it reminds me what I've accomplished and allows me a moment's prideful reflection on my greatest achievement. Five years ago, I was a grossly under-paid Technical Writer for a private university. I was doing a lot of print media, a touch of multi-media, and a fair bit of HTML. The HTML I'd been playing with for about 5 years by then. Five years ago, I was a year into a three-year program in IT at the university where I worked. I was taking classes for no other reason than they were free and being in school would stave off repayment of student loans from previous study of mechanical engineering. Five years ago, was one year before taking my first intrductory programming class as part of that IT program. When I got to that class, I found I had a knack for it. Even with that most remedial class making simple console outputs in C, I could see that I had a knack for it, a thirst to learn more, and an ability to drive towards it unlike anything I'd found before. Five years ago, was one year before launching me on a three-year ride of round the clock study, moving onto an office-automation development team at the university, becoming one of two lead developers on that team, and finally, last year, breaking out on my own as an Independant Software Developer specializing in web-delivered Office Automation intranet tools. There's still a lot to learn, but then again, there always is.... Perfect! Remember kids: don't get eliminated! Jim
