What were you up to in 2007?
-
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

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

I was pretty young but I remember being so awed by the "big" graphical updates between 2005-2007 lol

Yes, there was a sweet spot in the graphics updates right before they enshittified the whole game.

I was taking fuck tonnes of party drugs at psytrance squat raves in abandoned mansions or under random motorway overpasses and occasionally remembering to go to college on weekdays. London was a really fun place to be a teenager back then.

Erotic roleplay via SQL...

Dude, OP was asking about 2007, not 1707...
But, in earnest now, what was the background to this?
Fisheries patrols and exercises mostly. I was a marine mechanic in the RCN.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Finishing senior year of high school, completely unaware that it was nothing but downhill from there.
It took me over a decade after high school just to find a job that actually paid enough to move out of my parents house. And then another 8 years for me to find someone and settle down. But now I feel too old and out of energy to start a family. I'm just barely starting my life and it's already halfway over.
We don't get enough time on this planet.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I learned this trick where if I sold mortgages as a bundle deal, they would be considered less risky than if I were to sell those mortgages separately. It tuns out I could just keep doing this and make a ton of money and there was absolutely no downside!

wrote last edited by [email protected]I was in college, fresh out of high school. I started learning PHP that year. I think I was working at One Stop Systems, a company that produces enterprise PCIe equipment.
I was still using Windows at that point, and I would switch to Linux the next year.
