    I was born that year and I’m curious what others were doing around that time.

      Getting ready to graduate college, and help build a better world...

      Things did not go as planned.

        In 2007, I made a VirtualBox virtual machine with Windows XP, and basically all the software I could get my hands on at the time. It's something of a time capsule of computers of the era. I call it Blue Emerald.

              The company I was working for went bankrupt (part of the mobile phone market disruptions that latter also killed off Nokia) and I had to find a new job.
              Moved near my hometown, a few months later meeting my now wife.
              Eventful times for me! 🙂

                  I was sailing the North Atlantic and being black out drunk while ashore. I think I had a couple port visits in the states, but mostly just patrols of Canadian waters

                        Half-way through Sixth Form (end of high school before uni in the UK) and working a retail job.

                        Was going to gigs in London and local house parties any opportunity I could

                        Apart from that a lot of TF2

                          Freelance developer and picking up some stray jobs here and there. It was the last year before landing something steady that became my full time career that I still do to this day.

                          But those debugging hours and stray jobs showed the kind of versatility my next job would need.

                              Started working at the Apple Store. That was a 5 year journey that spanned 3 states.

                                      Dude, OP was asking about 2007, not 1707...

                                      But, in earnest now, what was the background to this?

                                        I think I was fresh off my divorce and in my man-whore era. Owned my own house. Had lots of friends and played a lot of roleplaying games. Lots of World of Warcraft.

                                        I guess I'd say I was at peak personal freedom. I had money, time, and minimal responsibility. It felt awesome. Then apparently you were born and fucked it all up.

                                        Kidding. Things were cool for a good while. Few years later got bit by the bug to settle down and have kids of my own, which was a big transition to a different kind of enjoying life. Lots of good memories from 2007. If I could go back in time and live my life over starting at any point, that's probably about when I'd choose.
