Elly tagged me a few weeks ago with a quite interesting meme. Life has been terribly busy and it’s taken until this attack of insomnia to find time to write it up.

So, without further dawdling, where was I…

…One year ago?

Last year was the industrial placement section of my degree, so rather than mid-term alcoholism in Manchester I was living in Bracknell and working for Fujitsu Siemens Computers. Whilst there I met Steve and under his guidence became even nerdier than I already was.

It was a good year, although I would hazard a guess that in April we were still working on a dreadful Microsoft Sharepoint based project that was sapping the life and soul out of all of us. I would later describe Sharepoint deployments as ‘the kind of decision that could drive me out of a job’. This first experience merely drove me out of my mind.

… Five years ago?

At the fine age of seventeen I was studying for my AS-level exams at Hills Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge. I was studing Maths, Computing, Modern History and Politics.

Items of interest include meeting David on my computing course and, errr… hmm.

… Ten years ago?

I was twelve. This places me in the third term of my first year at Sawston Village College secondary school and probably means I had a terrible hair cut.

Who am I tagging?

It’s rather late so I’m a bit stumped to think of five names. So for the time being:

• Stu
• Alex
• and Hanni
