Excerpts from gene heskett's message of 2010-10-01
22:07:28 +0200:
Thanks for the flowers, and I do share a story now and then, based on 45+
years as a broadcast engineer, 25 of them as the Chief Engineer, spread
over 2 tv stations and a radio station. But I try to make the story's
related apply to the subject of the message here that got my attention. On
any mailing list, random data, no matter how good, is often considered as
noise.

I'm 26 now, and I think it's really great that people like you, 50 years
older and almost the age of my grandfather, take part in all of this
stuff. Everyone has his share of experience, and I believe every
generation can learn a bit from every other generation. Guys of your age
have a little more experience and stories to share, and I really
appreciate this. It's especially great that you manage to keep up with
technology and all of the related stuff. I know at least one person
who's 90+ and very healthy and active, but her understanding of
technology is near zero. For me, people that age taking part of all this
kind of stuff is incredible, and it's also highly appreciated. There are
plenty of things we young folks can learn. On Fri, 1 Oct 2010 09:51:29 +1000

Ageism lives I see.
I'm in my mid 40s and I still have a passion for coding. I don't
do as much audio coding as I used to but I am a significant
contributor to the DDC compiler:

Did you not notice the ':P' ?
