3 years in a nutshell
Dancer (put your advert here) Started conversation Oct 27, 2007
I was away for a while - and people (for some unexplained reason) wanted to know what happened in my life since. I'll try to be brief - so this post will be readable.
I'll try not to babble too much about anything. if anything catches your eyes - ask and I will expand.
I've just started my 3rd year in med school. I recently took up rock climbing. I live with my girlfriend (and to be hones - probably my future wife). I study Russian (not an easy trick to pull). I still work as a computer programmer (for a company doing computer vision application and hardware for the automotive industry). I hate my car. I cook more then I used to (And am apparently not too bad at it). I still dance. My father had a CVA and now can not feel touch on one side of his body.
There's probably a lot more - but this is the major things that come to mind at the moment.

*accepts and offeres around*
what I want to know is: can I borrow your time expanding machine??!! How the heck do you manage to fit all that in?
How is med school? 3rd year sounds seriously busy.

3rd year IS pretty busy, but there's a strike at the moment (Of the university lecturers) - so we only have a few classes a week at the moment.
I think if you manage to go through the day calmly - you can manage to fit quite a lot in a day (even more in a week)

and there is the biggie - I'm about as calm as a whirlpool at the bottom of a waterfall...

It does sound busy but then I remind myself that in the last year I got married, moved country, got a number of jobs, took charge of the state LoCo team of volunteer ubuntu advocates; did some graphics work, attended more musical events then I care remember, kept programming dohickey project and still had time to drink tea and complain to myself about how lazy I was being.
Having a lovely wife has helped a lot.
So It's good to hear your al'right Dancer.

is always welcome, but I like to munch on some bourbon creams or jammy dodgers which I can dunk in the tea.

It is nice to keep busy... I enjoy having new hobbies all the time - even if I can't put as much time into them as they deserve.
DoctorMO - You got married? Congratulations
I thought of reviving the programmers' corner. what do you think?

It's really great to get so much done Dancer (and anyone else here who also gets a lot done)!
I *know* I'm lazy and I accept that about myself! Nevertheless I also enjoy doing stuff. Every morning when I get out of bed, I would like to stay there a bit longer ... but when I get busy, I get 'into' the work and enjoy it.

Dancer, the programmers corner was great, although it kind of needs direction and purpose.
If I was to do it, I'd set up clear goals about supporting new programmers, answering questions and a projects section for programmers join in.
Anyway, yes it's an interesting suggestion.
