What were you up to in 2007?

I was born that year and I’m curious what others were doing around that time.
Backpacked through Europe for a couple of weeks.

That would've about been the year that I dropped out of college and quit my job to play world of warcraft every waking hour of my life

My wife and I had just moved 400 miles the previous year and bought a house. She started a new job and we had our first child, who apparently is the same age as you.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I officially graduated early and was working drywall while taking a light college workload. I crashed my old schools senior day with a 30 block to see my friends who were finishing their last year of highschool and got kicked out lol. What else.. I was going to post hardcore shows at little venues that would close within 3 years and I was a warlock class leader for my world of Warcraft guild, getting bored of 4chan and phasing out of insurgen.CC. I think at this point i also started looking for a fake ID and got recs from coworkers with stolen SSNs but most of the contacts wouldn't bite. I was also playing bass in a metal band but got alcohol poisoning and had to drop out.

Eating mushrooms with the homies in the woods instead of going to prom. Zero regrets, would do it again.

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

Oh man, probably deep into World of Warcraft, absolutely “no-lifing” it. Dropping in and out of community college. Not many friends. Living on my own for the first time. Not taking care of myself.

I forgot about the WoW, pretty much the highlight of the era

By April of 2007 I had completely burned myself out working for my third tech startup in the Boston area. By the end of April I was in New Zealand followed by Australia on a month+ long solo trip to unwind and recover from the burnout.

ETL ERP via SQL
To approve a corporate merger the Federal Trade Commission required us to sell off a division to prevent having a monopolistic market share. To avoid software licensing complexities and for business continuity, the purchaser was allowed to be umbrellaed under our existing software license and remained hosted on our servers for two years. Environment was CA-PRMS Enterprise Resource Planning on an IBM I-series.
Created a new instance, updated key values while porting master files and transaction history data into the new instance. Scrubbed same data from old instance. Set security to prevent cross access. Hard due date or merger would be cancelled. Federal auditors inspected through process. Trickiest was incomplete transactions like a partially complete work order, AR unapplied cash or AP/PO partial match in receiving. Some of the most challenging fun I had in 30 years of IT -
