I'm old, folks. 

OLD.

I created this account when I was 12 years old.

Now, I'm 23, a software engineer, and I do adult things.  You'd think renting my own place, paying bills, going to work, all that expected stuff would make me realize "Hey, I'm not a kid anymore."  But it wasn't until I remembered this forum and somehow logged with my old username and password that I realized, "Omg.  I'm not a kid reading Redwall anymore."

Anyway, ask me anything!

Why didn't you put this in a members-only board Hey man how you been? Software Engineering, huh? In what applications do you do that in? How is the adult life treating you?
I've been looking back over these past few months, and I've felt off. Felt different. At the time, I wanted nothing more than to go back to the good old days.
But now? Could I just ignore all the ways I've suffered and grown? Caught hold and let go? Could I return from life, having now lived?

Oof, I am too much of a noob to know that is a thing.  Regardless, I don't mind making this public. I figured the spam forum would fit well enough since I didn't know exactly where to post this.

As for software engineering, I work on embedded systems!  In general this means working with software that is tightly coupled to hardware.  The application is avionics networking, which is a time sensitive environment. 

The adult life is awesome, man! I couldn't ask for more.  I love my job, I love where I live, and I love where I'm headed.  Of course, I miss some of the bliss and daydreaming and wonder of being a kid, but I wouldn't trade that back for all the blessings of now!

Not that bad at all.  It's way easier than school, that's for sure.

Last week was great!  I love doing what I do as a software engineer.  Right now I'm working on a presentation for a lab demonstration I had been working on for the past couple of weeks.

Well hello there! Fancy seeing you around these parts. It's been quite a while hasn't it? Anyway, read any good books lately, or has IRL stuff kept you too busy for that?

Hey Matthias720!  I think you're one of the oldest members of this forum, haha! 

Currently reading a book called The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe, a Catholic author from the 80's.  It's classical fantasy.  I gave away all my Redwall books to nieces and nephews unfortunately, lol.

I know! So sad isn't it.  But it's for a good cause.  I know my nieces and nephews will enjoy those books as much as I did.
