   Well, it might take a few more minutes in front of the mirror but I think I still scrub up well for three years shy of the big five-oh. All dolled up and ready to fly to Paris for my talk on Kitten* and the Small Web tomorrow at #NewCrafts.

   Can’t believe this year marks my 40th year of programming.

   I owe a lot to my dad bringing home that IBM XT compatible and a BASIC manual when I was 7.

   I’m fact, that’s where my talk tomorrow starts…

     @Emilyrosella Thanks, good to know I’m upping my bathroom mirror selfie game :)

     Note to self: next time, clean the mirror first :)

     @druid Haha, it’s called Just for Men and you can get it at any pharmacy ;) (My dad started getting white hair at 18 so dodging that was likely never going to happen. On the other hand, he also has nary a wrinkle in his 80s so I guess I got lucky there… also, moisturise like your life depends on it!) :P

     @aral It's not fair. I can't see a single grey hair or wrinkle anywhere, just gorgeousnessessess. We're the same age and yet I'm getting greyer by the day. What's your secret and where can I buy some? 😊

     @aral looking good!

     So, not only are we the same age, we also started programming about the same time (I might have started one or two years later)
