Jan 4: Seven things
Since Kore, Lars and Marcus forced me to write this: 
- Sebastian's first foreign language was Latin, for me Latin was the reason to start programming (by trying to hack the vocabulary trainer my brother wrote, so I learned Basic instead of Latin)
- I started PHP since I was too dumb to get my Perl CGI scripts working after our home server crashed
- I still have more Perl books than PHP books
- Compiling PHP 4.0 on our Pentium 90 home server took a night or so - and often forgot to activate some extension I used
- I learned SQL using the university notes from my brother, and I soon learned that MySQL 3.23 doesn't support "CREATE VIEW"
- I used my unicycle to ride to the office where I had my first job application ever (that trick worked!)
- Sometimes I am tour guide in Munich, but only for friends, like Kore
And now I have to tag seven more people ...
