[Year 12 SofDev] 2008 exam My Answers Part c

[Kevin Feely]

Hi kevork
hahahahaha
i think that perhaps some things get embellished over time, but yes, I 
think it wasn't until i was in my 30's that i actually started to 
concede that it might be possible for me to be wrong on the odd occassion.
I like to think Iam much more circumspect these days *sigh*

Resign? oh yes. iam one of those 54/11 people that makes it economically 
beneficial to quit b4 55!
But I still need some money, so I had to find something else to do
At this moment I have been offered a full time SSO IT technician job (do 
you know how much they pay these guys? not much), but have applied for a 
Junior maths/science as well.
The problem is which one, the??????
regards
Kev

Although my memory isn't that good, it makes me very happy to see that I 
have left an impression on those for whom I have a great deal of respect 
and admiration (dont expect anything more smaltzy than that but)
My sharpest memory from all those VITTA conferences was meeting up with 
you and Maggie Iaquinto in her session on using null modems to get 2 
computers to communicate - geee you could type on one and it would 
appear on the other screen or even maybe send a file! Remember before 
www when we had 2400 baud modems and needed communcations software with 
protocols like x, y and z modem? Ot telemate and all those AT commands? 
Well we were all making 25 pin x-over cables with the kids and Maggie 
was getting some intermittent errors and we were discussing the hows and 
whys on that, I think we were only a part of a small group trying all 
these hardware and communications experiments (yep u 2 durkin) when 
everone else was working on wordstar, or some spreadsheet - and in my 
old self - boring, boring, boring. However i remember at the finish 
Maggie going to her old beaten up datsun and turning on an old radio, 
but perhaps not, because she then started speaking fluent russian to the 
orbiting cosmonaughts above! how good was that! amazing.

No - I cannot afford to say no,  but either way i will be around in some 
form - just will lose my dept email name but i will get another.
