Thought I'd post this here as it hasn't been yet! Happy Birthday man!
Happy birthday! I didn't realize it was today? Man, you're getting old now.
HBD fellow Aquarian! You're still younger than me... But to help make you feel old, in just over a week my son will be turning almost the age you were when we first met! :o
Happy birthday man!
If you want him to feel old, just point out he's now halfway to the late retirement age...
He shared a birthday with D&D (which turned 40 yesterday)
Connecting feeling old and D&D turning 40 ... until 30 seconds ago I did know that "TSR" stood for " Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. "
At the time I first heard of D&D I was doing some self-learning of ASSEMBLY* LANGUAGE so "TSR" was "Terminate and Stay Resident" in my brain (and I never bothered to update that mental entry, until now.) (unlike "TRS" which is likely the same thing in your brains as it is in mine (http://www.zdnet.com/dead-it-giants-a-top-10-of-the-fallen_p7-3040090912/))
PS: and re. D&D, why does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gygax gets all the credit and respect, why not also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Arneson ?
* the reason I say "feeling old" is that the Assembly was *6502* -- Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6502) says "When it was introduced in 1975, the 6502 was, by a considerable margin, the least expensive full-featured microprocessor on the market" ... I think the book was one of these relics (https://www.google.ca/search?q=6502+assembly+language+programming&tbm=isch) , and this actually kinda makes sense to me, still (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/6502_Assembly#Instructions) (although I haven't touched the stuff for over 25 years! (understanding these concepts kinda helped when learning C/C++ though) )
Thanks guys. I am down and out with the flu so sorry for the late response.
Ugh, get well soon!
Yeah, hope you feel better soon.
Take it easy, enjoy your rest "break" from busy life etc.
