it’s been a long time

from the history of llamasoft:

We were all handed sheets of paper with boxes to write the letters of the program in. Upon these sheets, we had to painstakingly write the two or three lines of our simple programs, in capital letters, in the little boxes.

argh! my computer teacher makes us do this. i’m serious. we copy out sample programs onto the paper-with-boxes. then, we’re allowed to type them on the screen.

and not only that.

we have to fill out “input-output layout forms” and “printer spacing charts”. i don’t understand them at all. i’m guessing it’s all ancient artifacts from the last time my teacher was up to date…sometime in the card-punching days, i think.

we do flowcharts too. they’re a little bit cool. i make weird animals from ms word’s flowchart autoshapes.
