I've never had a real job. :P
I got fired because I stuck the forks of the forklift all the way through the pallet I was lifting and tore a 480 volt electrical panel off the wall (no one got hurt). Big flash of light, sparks, smoke, 60 seconds later boss man told me to hit the bricks.

Should have instead fired the person who illegally blocked the electrical panel.

I am now very, very, very happy.
I just found the first 13 years of "Dr. Dobb's Journal" in pdf, from 1976 to 1988.
This is one of the first computer programming publication (I think it might be the second after Byte) aimed at the public, and by public I mean home computer enthusiasts when the field was starting. I just finished reading the content of the first year and there are lot of articles about how to write a simplified version of the BASIC programming language, an article about a binary to decimal conversion program in assembler (for one of the popular 8 bit processor, the 8080 I think), how to save a byte in a program, I think at this point all programs were in assembly, there's even an article on writing floating point routines co-authored by Steve Wozniak.
This is the type of programming I fell in love with back in the early 80's, nothing to do with modern programming environment or languages, not that those aren't good, they just don't engage me as much.
I have all sort of projects in my mind to try to re-capture how I felt way back then, even if they say you can never go home again.
I'm sorry I won't give a link for people who are interested, the magazine does not exist anymore but that does not mean no one owns the rights to those back issues. Just know that it took me just a few minutes with Google and that those early back issue are not on the official site of the defunct magazine, it only has the last few years of it. It's on a website named after one of the most popular, if not the most popular, 8 bit processor.

If by "current track of awesomeness" you mean "jack of all trades, master of none", then you are absolutely correct.

That's a good track to be on. The world needs specialists, but it also needs people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and dig into the problem du jour, whatever it may be. Honestly, I sometimes wish my career didn't leave me quite so pigeon-holed.

Just apply for demo. Anyone with working arms can swing a hammer and rip up kitchen tiles. Hell, with all those tentacle's he's got, TinyE would be the best demo caddie the world's ever seen. Sad to see people failing to see their own potential.

I trolled hard some local girls in a dating site! Even though i didn't understand why, or how, i really thought it was quite funny! I owed it to them from previous encounters in that place that treated me coldly with trolling! Whatever goes round, comes round, as they say... He he he! Besides, who would actually seek anything for real in a fake-ass dating site again, LOL!?
