I added my radio url to my email signature file today. I guess that means that I am staying with radio for at least a year. I expect that I will wait for the last day of my trial period to buy it though. My Dad’s encounter with The Depression left me with an appreciation of frugality.
I am 57. I have owned a personal computer since before IBM made one. I started with an Atari 400 with a tape recorder as a storage device in 1979. I guess you could say that I am a slow learner. I think that I am also bound and determined to wrestle something out of this long investment in technology. I love a challenge.
I hated math in school. I still have to calculate 8 times 7. My 7th grade teacher told me that I could never be a physicist because I lacked the ability with the math needed. He also told me that the field was for men. The fact that I could read and comprehend the theory of relativity at that age had little to recommend it apparantly as a job qualification. You can also see that even at that age I was bi-polar.
Maybe that is why I love binary.
I was not very good at foreign languages either. Looking back at my high school transcript I can see that I would have been a straight A student if it were not for math and Spanish. Thank goodness for the college boards. I scored in the top 2% in language skills. 98+68/2=83 is somewhat better than 98+68+25/3=64 thank goodness. (I was also later surprised to find that I sort of enjoyed statistics.)
I appreciate all the help I have been getting from the radio community. And I promise that will try to not resort to being snotty again when my natural impatience with myself kicks in.
Here I will go on stumbling around terms that I do not have a clue as to what they mean, not being afraid to expose my foibles as well as my strengths, and generally blogin along with the rest of you.
