(no subject)

Someone just walked by my window talking about hexadecimal and ASCII. I had the ghost of an impulse to run out and strike up a conversation. Which would be totally weird, and it makes me sad to realize that there is no sense of camaraderie when it comes to being into computers anymore. For that matter, who the hell would say they're into computers these days? That's like saying you're into breathing. We've lost a lot of frontiers over the last 15 years.
