Ancient GUIs
Wow, I haven’t posted here forever. I’ve been buried under the bureaucracy of the DMV and school system. Here in Oregon, you can’t get your “Learners Permit” (a kind of semi-drivers license that lets you drive, but only if you have an adult in the car) unless you are enrolled in a school, have a high-school diploma, or a GED certificate. Being home schooled, it’s a little hard for me to prove that I’m enrolled in school, so we decided that I might as well just take my GED and get it over with. However, you can’t take your GED until your 16! So, this April, we started slogging through all the bureaucracy. First, we went to LBCC and got my GED authorization form. This we filled out, then sent in, they screwed with it, sent it back to us, we filled it out some more, and then sent it back to them. They then sent me my “Authorization to test for the GED”. Then, we went to the DMV to get my Photo ID, so I could prove that I was actually Taj Morton when I went to fill out more GED forms and take my test. However, we didn’t have my “real” birth certificate, only the one from the hospital (which apparently isn’t legally valid). So, after getting my real birth certificate from vital records, I got my ID. Then, we headed out to LBCC, where I filled out and signed a million forms. The result? I’ll be able to test in July.
Anyway, here’s something that I found pretty cool: GUIs on ToastyTech. All those old OSes that you weren’t alive to see. I found it very cool…finally I know what Microsoft Bob looked like–ugg!
Yay, we’re going to all 3 fiddle camps. They’re all in July, 2 of them are back-to-back. Fun!
