Times have changed

As you can see, this is continuing a trend to keep posts somewhat-short, so people won’t be put off. Let’s see how long I can keep it up.

I just got off the phone with my mom, and my, how things have changed. Who would’ve believed I would be giving her cooking tips one day?

That’s it, that’s all I have to say about that.

But before I go, I just have to talk about something else that came up, a family-tree. You know you’re a geek when your mom’s letting you know about your family-tree (traversing back some 4 generations) someone’s put up on a website, and you begin to show her how to use diff and patch to submit patches with corrections to the website maintainer.

I found it amusing that I have relatives that go by (legal) names such as Persia, and also interesting that my great-great-grand-pappy(?), a doctor, held the highest administrative post in the land (under the king, something like Chief Minister?).
