XKCD: 11th Grade

Filed under: life, web development — jaydublu @ 6:21 pm

Sorry to post another xkcd strip, but they just keep hitting home:

And the ten minutes striking up a conversation with that strange kid in homeroom sometimes matters more than every other part of high school combined.

I just had to look it up on wikipedia ‘cos it was bugging me - the British equivalent of 11th Grade in ‘my’ terms is Lower Sixth, or in ‘new money’ Year 12.

I’m trying to remember what I was doing that enhanced my life in the Lower Sixth - certainly not Perl which I didn’t discover until much later - I was probably doing good old BASIC and Pascal on an Apple II at that time, and perhaps some 6502 machine code on my Acorn Atom. Now that dates me!
