This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

You know that scene in the (original) H.G.Wells Time Machine film
...where he's watching the sun go around the sky, faster and faster, and the skirt lengths going up and down in the window of the shop opposite?

That's how I feel, these days. A week is a mere blink; even a year seems like a short time. I say something happened "the other day" and then realise it was three years ago. Birthdays seem to happen every month, so fast I've lost count.

The only benefit I can see is that, as you get older, you can start to pull off "eccentric" (rather than just "weird"). My role model is Doc from Back To The Future...

...you may need to develop a thicker skin.

Didnt mean for that to sound whingey.

As for thicker skin, no, since the days of AOL chatrooms/ local IRC channels (yes, in Norway it was common to have channels for people in your local area, dunno if that was the case here in the UK) I learned not to take the internet seriously. At all. And 4chan was hilarious.
